1 tablet per gallon.

Dang. About 3 hours too late for my 9 dirsturbingly dimpled corks ;)

I just finished my first batch and I feel like it's crazy lemony. Like sour lemon. I sorbated and back sweetened to 1.010 (from 0.098) and I don't know if that was enough? I "tested" the sweetness by putting 1 oz in a beaker and adding 1/4 tsp sugar (stirring until dissolved) at a time until it...

Welcome. I don't think there's any situation these people can't fix! Good luck!!

The first time I saw that I was really interested. I plan on making some cyser and think individual bottles would be fun. Plus cider and rootbeer. I haven't heard much about that particular one while browsing here but you may have swayed me. Thanks for the tip!

I bought the double lever. The only floor corker was $160 and they don't even sell the hand corkers. I did a test run with 1 dry and 1 wet in a kmeta solution and the dry one tore a pieces off the top. The wet one was definitely easier with no tearing. It did leave a slight indent in the top but...

So its time to bottle my first skeeter pee batch and I realized I dont have a corker... or corks. So I'm gonna head out to buy each and I've seen a lot on soaking versus not soaking. So I'm not sure how I'll go about that yet. Maybe some practice corking tonight. Also I don't know if the local...

I see this is a couple months old but is there a plan to look at somewhere like instructable or something? I would like to make one but I dont think I'm seeing everything in the video...

Foam should be a good indication of fermenting. By tomorrow you should hear fizzing noises as the co2 escapes. I'm sure youll get an eye full here for using bread yeast. But for a first time I dont think its that big of a deal. Read some of the threads here and you'll be buying the good stuff...

Racked off lees and Backsweetened today to 1.010 will let it sit for a few days to make sure theres no ferment action... thanks for all the help!!

Well I need some things fixed too so bring a bottle and I'll be here hahaha

What is these magical ingredients you speak of and???

Starting to see some of the beginnings of it tonight in SoCal. Will be driving to the middle of the desert on monday night to watch its peak with a bottle of Skeeter pee! (And a DD:)

What was the recipe exactly? Did you take notes when you made it? If you did then post those too. We can't really help if we dont know the basics of the issue. I know my first batch was supposed to be a 1 gallon batch so I bought concentrates plus 1 gallon jug of water. I added both in full and...

Did you stabilize with k-sorbate & k-meta? Sounds like there's still some fermentation going.

Subscribed to see what come of this! Acidity is about the most confusing part so far for me. I have a TA test kit and hopefully will get a pH meter soon.

I think the packets are good for up to only 5 gallons. 6-10 gallons would need a second.

Purple one fosho.

Purple and gold all the way!

I kept it and let it go over this weekend under airlock (went camping and couldn't be tempted to mess with it). SG was at 0.998 so I racked to a clean carboy and degassed and stabilized. The smell is definitely reduced and now smells mostly of lemon and alcohol. Going to let it clear this week...
