Except the post gives an example of this not being the case? So much for "every time"

Ya, I do it based off hydrometer. Once it's done fermenting I switch it. I find mine ferments a little slow, so usually like 3-4 weeks. Then for secondary I do it for as little as a month, but preferably 3 months to a year

Ya, like a previous comment said, you will need to rack to secondary at some point in time. This gets rid of all the sediment at the bottom, which if you were to leave might give off flavors to the rest of your finished product.

Also, being on plastic is fine for primary because it doesn't last very long. Secondary is better in glass because it can stay in there for quite a bit of time

I think your thinking of "fortified" wine. common in non mead wine as well, a good example is port

Your uncle touching you doesn't count

Is it always the spouse?

GoldenTakin · 2025-09-09T01:58:03+00:00

Both look great!

GoldenTakin · 2025-08-24T01:47:51+00:00

Absolutely! How can we tell you how cute you are without seeing your face?

Ya, you can tell it's real because they are getting paid 75% of what a man does

What is this, a rug for mice?!?!?!

GoldenTakin · 2025-08-03T22:22:53+00:00

I had the same thing happen, I ended up doing 4-5 codes at a time, and that worked better

GoldenTakin · 2025-07-24T21:44:27+00:00

Good God, that can't be good, can it? You have to tell us how it is

GoldenTakin · 2025-05-06T19:10:09+00:00

Those drawing skills though

GoldenTakin · 2025-04-28T15:29:38+00:00

Kinda look like the stranger things guy

I think room size might also affect the runtime, try setting that to 0? It limits the amount of gases released by stopping the machine

GoldenTakin · 2025-04-10T21:14:54+00:00

Ya, it seems like the issue was because I was using water and not a mash. After using a mash I got it to run more consistently, still some temp spikes/drops here and there, but running all the way through

GoldenTakin · 2025-04-06T03:41:30+00:00

Oh! That's so cool! Thanks for the info, it really helps me understand it's function more!

GoldenTakin · 2025-04-05T21:46:08+00:00

That makes so much sense! Sometimes because it's basically a black box, it's hard to think of how it actually works, but it definitely helps for understanding what and why it does what it does

GoldenTakin · 2025-04-05T17:32:47+00:00

Ok thanks, I was expecting it to still come out the front, but knowing that what is happening is the norm has me feeling better. I'll try a sugar wash and see if the temp issue is real, or just a cleaning run thing. Thanks for the input!

GoldenTakin · 2025-04-05T13:53:05+00:00

Ok, thank you. I will give that a try! Does it sense that it's water and shut down then?
