As a 20 year old... I know that the laws in Minnesota are very vague relating to minors. They say that it's alright for our parents to buy us alcohol with the intention for us to consume it in their household. Therefore, if you get pulled over with alcohol in your car, it is assumed that you...
Not only was this my first cider, it was also my first brewing experience. I started with 4 gallons of Indian Summer pasteurized apple cider and 1 smack pack of wyeast 4766. After pitching it fermented for 10 days until the bubbling in the airlock slowed to about once every 5 seconds. At that...
I'm not sure how the smokey flavor would be. I would consider adding some cayenne peppers to add a little heat without adding too much flavor. Sort of like dark chocolate with cayenne.
Well I racked it into the secondary tonight anyways. I was getting a gravity reading just above 1.00. I'm assuming that after 20 days the yeast taste is going to go away? It currently tastes like I added extra yeast to some keystone light.
Anyways, it's now in a new 5gal bucket/lid/airlock...
Alright thanks,
It was 4 gallons of Indian Summer brand apple cider and a smack pack of Wyeast 4766.
I don't know what the SG was, I just got a hydrometer last week. Eventually I'll buy some more of the Indian Summer so I can get a SG reading from it.
It's been 9 days and 21 hours since I pitched the yeast. The airlock has slowed to about 3 bubbles per minute. Is it too soon to rack it into the secondary, or should I wait for the bubbles to stop completely?
Isn't midwest closer to the St. Louis Park ax-man? I have no idea, all I know is that I take nearly the same exit off of 100 to get to both. I went to midwest last friday when I was bored. Quite a trek from Stillwater, but it's huge!
Naw, the best find of today was the pilsner glass etched with my first name for 45 cents. Oh, and it also has some random date on it, but who cares, 45 cents!
Actually I was at 3 of them today... I woke up and felt like taking a personal day. The stir rods came from the St. Louis Park location by all the glassware.
My intent was to do a Tour-de-Ax-man, but apparently there's a new location in Crystal that's apparently the best stocked out of them...
