Mash Bag vs Malt Pipe
I've used a bag in my Brewzilla, others have too. Last time I didn't, no problems. I mostly use it to contain the grain, I haven't had a stuck mash.- JohnSand

9.2% BGSA bottle conditioning inconsistency 3 months after fermentation began, 2 months after bottling
I don't know. I made a big Belgian once that needed six months in the bottle to mature. It stayed good for a couple of years, then fell off. I think the only thing you can do is keep aging. If it's oxidized or infected it will probably get worse. Keep us posted. Welcome aboard!- JohnSand

Mystery problem about 8 days into ferment - TWICE
Welcome aboard! I've made hard cider only once in recent years, using just two different pasteurized ciders from mills.

I think you have started a new thread, and that's okay. I ferment sauerkraut, but not pickles yet.- JohnSand
