Mine still smells like farts after month and a half

Yeah I think I know which thread u r talking about. Basically dip ur bottles for 10 min into a 190 F water. I'm just afraid they might blow up.

I'm gonna try to sweeten cider too. Is the plastic bottle is to help to read right carbonation? I've heard about ciders carbing in 3 hours. How were u gonna pasteurize it ?

I did one couple weeks ago with 1 lb of sugar to 5 gal of cider using Notty. I'm definitely adding more cider and some sugar to sweeten it up. Maybe even some lactose

So which yeast did you use ?

If you had any simple sugar in the recipe you could add it later in fermentation. That will make yeast eat up complex sugars first and make ur beer drier

how does it taste ? close to the original ?

well how did it turn out ?

I think the yeast in LFDM is not the same yeast they ferment with. But you can get the yeast from Wyeast .. it's currently one of their Private Collection ( I got 2 packs )

To OP don't be afraid to experiment and if you are then maybe in next batch try something different. And...

Turn caps lock off. Steel cut oats are unprocessed so they will actually bring more flavor in. And I did more then two batches with oats and it came out exelent. Your arrogance really not helping.

You can add some steel cut oats for smooth taste

So how was it ?

i'll get on reading about water chemistry if it improves my beer

Isn't ro water is more expensive ? I guess if you are lucky and your water is pretty soft then all you do is just add salts. Also don't forget pH changes associated with salt addition
