I'm not 100% sure to be honest.So i looked it up and found this forum that had some good information.I make mustang wine since they grow in abundance along fence lines in Texas.http://www.gotmead.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16646

Yes, you may get some instant foaming as you add it but it subsides shortly. The mash or wort should begin to ferment rather vigorously. I now add my nutrient along with some Camden tablets and some lemon juice and get a really good ferment going. Good luck!

My wife's recipe for fermenting rice: Cook rice well. After cooling, add the yeast product and store in a jar at room temperature. (So, in answer to the question, she doesn't wait until after fermentation has begun.) This process will successfully ferment the rice, but the result is not entirely to her taste. Since she is only a beginner, it will probably take several times before she gets the quantity of yeast right and produces a result that is more to her liking.

When you finish the fermentation process,you can put a regular lid.Its recomended to put in fridge.Eat slowly and enjoyRafi

honestly, i didn't know, but i have been brewing for over two months now and have made over fifty bottles of kombucha; i also have four separate gallon jars for my scobys and not one problem of mold, mildew or fungus. I had to give some babies away and am hoping soon someone will take my new ones, i took a leap, and am glad i did it.

Hi Shelly! Actually, the longer you ferment the MORE vinegar taste. So for this batch I would stop fermenting and if it's too vinegary, simply add your favorite juice, tea, even club soda to cut the taste. And for future batches ferment for less days.. this can be achieved by taste testing your kombucha a few times a day to pick the time that's right for you! Happy Brewin', Dave :)

Yes! I love this yeast, I'm a pretty serious (home) baker. I'm very particular, and I mostly bake with whole wheat flour. It is the best yeast I've come across. It works so very well!

I prefer it because I can keep it in my freezer and use it straight from the freezer into the recipe without letting it warm to room temperature first (as required by most others) and not have to work about it not working correctly. That's a lifesaver if you forget, or want to make something on spur of moment. Plus, I've always had better rising from this yeast than other brands.

Yeast is necessary. I have added several additional seeds and it works well . I add a couple of drops of honey, sesame poppy, Chia, Sunflower and pumpkin seeds. Good luck and enjoy!

You can. You need to add the sugar just before or after the first few kernels pop.

Try using warm water between 120 and 130 degrees. I also stir in a tablespoon of sugar and let the yeast stand for 5 mins. I stored my unused yeast in container and place it in the freezer. I hope this will help you...

Or, as an experiment, you could try using the yeast cube and warm water solution on the sourdough bread setting. That might possibly work, as both would begin from a warm starter.

No cooking ingredients are involved. The kit comes with Hopped Malt Extract (HME). Just bring to slow boil and add to fermenter. You can do your own mash if you want. Just adjust recipe for 2g. Otherwise you'd need larger equipment.

I added fruit to the jar before putting the yogurt in and that seemed to work. Otherwise you could just add it at the end.

Yes. Add it to the oil before the corn. Then fake liquid butter after. Yummy.

Yes, you can prime with sugar, like you do bottles. When you prime a whole batch instead of individual bottles, you can/should use about 2/3rds of the total amount of sugar you'd use with bottles. I can't answer how long it will last before going flat because all of my kegs have been consumed by a group in one evening. I would expect you could make it last a week. There is lots of great info out there in discussion forums shared by people who are passionate about their home brewing and equally passionate about sharing their knowledge with others. For starters, try www.beerborg.com/forum

Hi P! I bought the kit here also. However, I never used the strips. I just figured it out without testing it. I usually do the first ferment around 10 days and the second for about 4 to 5 days. Mostly 5 days now because it's cooler. Hope this answers your question.

Yes and no.put the ingredients in one at a time in order water first and then the dry ingredients. Make a litte dent in the last thing put in and then add the yeast making sure the yeast doesn't,t get wet

This is not used for fermentation. That requires a sealed container with a vent. Even with a fermenter you should prime your beer prior to bottling.
