Just started the hobby, watched probably 100 hours of how to etc. and decided "Hey.. I drink lets make it myself" and dropped a few bucks into starting.
Im going to keep my first set of "projects" updated here for... whatever reason.
Everything was sprayed and/or rinsed with 1step sanitizer, including the work surface, surrounding area, and myself.
2 "Juice bottle wine" (started 8/7/23)
2 bottles of Welch's Concord Grape
- 1.5cups juice
+ .75 sugar
+ 1/4tsp Ferm-o
+1/2tsp Yeast
1 Bottle has MO5 Yeast, one has D47 Yeast
4 Carboy Mead 2 recipe 2 yeasts, the recipes are very similar, only difference being 2.5lbs honey vs 3lbs honey. After looking at the SG of each I realize there should be very little difference. (started 8/10/23)
2 Carboy
2.5lbs "local raw" honey
+Spring water up to bottom of OneGallon mark on carboy
(vigorous shaking)
1 tsp Ferm-O
Carboy A 5g D47 yeast
Carboy B 1tsp MO5 yeast (edited after looking at my notes)
SG for these appears to be 1.112 (not sure I measured correctly)
(a few more shakes)
Clean bunghole fill airlock, close up.
2 Carboy
3lbs Kirkland's Wildflower Honey
+Spring water to bottom of One Gallon mark
1tsp Ferm-O
(shake shake)
Carboy 2A 5g D47 yeast
Carboy 2B 1tsp MO5 yeast (edited after looking at my notes)
SG appears to be 1.12 (again not sure I measured correctly)
(a few shakes)
Clean and close.
Ill update when anything interesting happens or if anyone asks a question or gives a suggestion.
