Wine from fruit juice

Welchs grape juice, sugar, and yeast. Seriously. Its drinkable in 3 weeks and actually good in 3 months.

My results were slightly different but in the same ballpark. Good advice overall.

This is going straight into my notes. Already learned three new things today.

All-grain brewing transition
Dec 28, 2026 5:45 pm
Moving from extract to all-grain is a big step. Need a mash tun and more time but the control over flavor is worth it.

I had given up on this entirely and your post got me to try again. Glad I did.

Has anyone else tried this? I am curious about other experiences.

Kegging vs bottling
Dec 28, 2026 5:45 am
Kegging is faster and gives better carbonation control. A used Cornelius keg setup is $100. No more washing 50 bottles!

My experience: it depends on your specific situation but generally this is good advice.

Quick question: does this apply to the newer version too or just the old one?

My neighbor told me the same thing last week. Must be legit.

I was skeptical at first but you convinced me. Going to give it a shot this week.

My uncle does this for a living and he agrees 100% with what you said.

First homebrew kit recommendations

The $80 starter kit from the local homebrew shop includes everything. First batch: a simple pale ale. Hard to mess up.

Does this work for everyone or just certain setups? Asking because my situation is a bit different.
