    Flat beer...

    Making wine less bitter.....

    I was curious about the means by which one can make their wine less bitter. In the past ive been told to use sodium bicarbonate(baking soda) to eliminate the acidity which can cause bitterness but it seems like a strange method. Any recommendations??

    I was curious about making a small amount of wort from a selection of malt and hops and adding it to several gallons of juice..... Curious if anyone's tried it? I don't doubt it would work but curious how it might turn out

    New Method(s)

    The last several batches I've made I've experimented with new methods I came up with.... The first turned out awesome with a wine that resembled a crisp grape beer! Delicious!!!! The first method involves integrating aspects of primary fermentation into those of secondary. The first two days...
