I'll be waiting for my shipping confirmation. Good luck everyone.

A few friends and I want to try a small experiment and was wondering how long it should take to reach 11.546 ABV :drunk: with a target OG of 1.092 and a target of 1.005 FG fermenting at 65 deg F. I will also be keeping this a still cider and back sweetening as per the recipe. The recipe Is...

I wasn't to made I only tried to carb 24 bottles to see how it would taste but I had almost 3 gallons of still cider to enjoy.:mug:

Well something strange happened the bottles I was carbonating ended up only taking 24 hrs to carb instead of the 3 to 5 days from the recipe. so none of them made it and ended up gushing everywhere.

Well my thoughts are I have a ball valve on my brewing kettle for when im making beer and an old coffee pot that has since been broken as of the start of this thread. I plumbed the kettle through the water line on the coffee pot to give a continues flow of water to the pump and heating element...

Thanks for the idea I can actually incorporate that into my little project

I have read the stovetop pasteurizing thread and had a DIY project in mind to simplify the reheating of the water. How long should I keep the bottles in the water covered if the water is only 160 deg? I was thinking atleast 10 minutes from everything ive found around the internet but wanted to...

My two cents. The world is a big and scary place that a lot of us Americans take for granted that our government can protect us when it is us that protect each other in times of need. This is a major tragedy that will most likely unfold but not for the better. A plane of that size would be hard...

Did some research milk jugs are mostle HDPE plastic jugs which melt at the mid 200s so safe for almost any use we would need in homebrewing. The exact text "The melting point of HDPE is in the mid 200 F range but the "extrusion" temperature range is 350 - 500 F." got my info from...

No it has not been backsweetened or bottled at this point I'm looking ahead to this Saturday when fermentation has completed.

No I was fully fermenting it then back sweetening after but I do not want it to carb up.

Since it was going to be a still cider I was going to put it in 1 gallon milk jugs for easy storage. I wonder if the plastic would be able to stand that high of a temperature?

I have a batch of apple cider about to finish fermentation this Saturday. I want to make it a still cider using Campden Tablets of Potassium Metabisulfite. Well unforeseen finance problems have stopped me from ordering any. Is there anyway I can stop the fermentation without it to safely keep it...

Thanks, I brew beer not cider so this is going to be my first run and hopefully it goes well. cheers:mug:
