    Jak1010, Did you try the yeast balls for cider yet? I think I'm going to try a gallon starting tomorrow. I'll run it along side of 10 gallons with Montrachet. See how it goes. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Even better, just keep it cold to hold the yeast dormant. I store mine at 38f when sweetened. I dislike the use of artificial sweeteners, so I avoid them like the plague.

    Well.......... turns out that yes I used too much RYR. Im thinking Ill do another 2lbs with just rice, and mix the results. Should be drinkable then I hope.

    You never know, different yeasts yield different results. I may give this a shot with Cider too. I've been brewing a lot of cider, next run I may do a gallon with a crushed yeast ball.

    Cheesecloth. And if you want it clear, then cheesecloth and let it settle for a few days in the fridge. Coffee filters are too fine. Even the most coarse filter gets plugged immediately.

    Yea, maybe not crushing will make up for the overdose!

    We'll see. I was wading through the thread looking for starting points, but didnt find any useful info about the RYR. Live and learn. Ill post back when complete and see how bad/good it is.

    Is the RYR cooked and added, or added uncooked? I just did 2 lbs Jasmine, cooked it, added about 2 lbs water and 1 cup raw RYR.

    Nevermid. I just saw that you addressed the original SG. So we would be estimating it. Now I understand.

    Yes, they measure the Salinity by SG. And they also temperature compensate. The only difference really is the the BRIX scale is not included. My real question was about calculating the ABV without a starting point. Currently we are able to do this by measuring the SG at start, and then again...

    This post confuses me. A Refractometer measures the SG of a solution. Without knowing the starting gravity, measuring the final solution does no good. You have to know the original gravity in order to calculate the ABV. A Hydrometer is a tool used to measure SG by buoyancy. How can your...

    Technically he is talking about concentration. There have been a few debates on here in the cider forum about the process, and the legality of it. I think the overall consensus is that the law allows it, but your hangover might not make it worthwhile.
