This was different as I had to boil the must first. I keep them both near the pellet stove to maintain 72 degree temps for fermintation. After two weeks I can rack them again then let sit for 6 months before I bottle. Added a little more suger to the mixes to put alittle punch to them.

Have you tried making beer[]?

Sam Adams is better at it than I am. [signature]
