They have been stored at 68*f(20*c) during the entire duration, tried one of the 330ml bottles and it seems to have carbonated, but not anywhere near what im used to with my beer.. should i open them and add more sugar then put new caps on and let them sit another week maybe?

Hi Guys, Im in need of help, this is my first time making Mangrove Jacks extract cider. So everything went well until i bottled it, i dont like alot of carbonation in my cider so i scaled down the sugar to 1 carbonation drop pr 500ml bottle. i used Coopers carbonation drops. its been 2 weeks...

It went 3 days from fermentation start until the krausen blew up. today is day 5 of fermentation. and I can see the krausen has halved in size. will let sit at approx 17C for 2 more days minimum.

Fermentation approx. at 12bubbles/min now, no more krausen coming up from through the hose. seems to have settled down a bit. moved it to the door room that keeps 16-18C. Thanks for all help!

I had 3L head space in a 12L batch. I could move it but the other place I can put it is around 16-18C.

Temp at: 22C Lid is bulgin a little bit, but not to much. There is just alot of krausen, but very small amount of bubbles, aprox. 10/min. Could i sanitize a spoon and just remove some of the krausen to put the pressure down?

Hi guys, i had a bit of a problem with my airlock, yeast came up and blew all over the place, i replaced the airlock with a hose the size of the hole in the lid, into a glass of starsan. after just 1h i can see yeast foam coming up the hose.. should i just rinse the hose a couple of times a...

Alright, it's been 2 weeks. so I'm updating. The apricot taste is extreme. but will hopefully calm down within the next couple of weeks. I completely forgot to put the pure in a bag before adding it to the wort so i got some apricot pure in some of the bottles, but it's eat and drink both in...

It was almost done fermenting when I added the apricot pure but started back up for 2-3 days then settled down. FG was the same as SG that I measured before putting in the apricot pure. after inspecting the can I figure that I added about 100g of sugar to the mix. As there was 16G of sugar pr...

Seems to have worked out fine, I just put it in bottles after 6 days in secondary. will update in 14 days when I'll crack one open.

I used the sugar syrup from 1 and 1/2 can to make the pure more smooth in consistency, will most likely take some time for the yeast to start again, will update later.

Hi Guys, Tomorrow I will add apricot puree to my wheat beer, but I was wondering how to make the pure, I bought about 1KG of canned half apricots, though about 40% of the cans are sugar syrup (simple syrup). so my question is, should I remove the sugar syrup before smashing the halved...

I have given up, poured out all the bottles yesterday. no carbonation and tasted like a bad cheap white wine. Thanks for all your help.

I have a pilsner that started at 1052 OG, and ended up at 1020 FG. Your calculator tells me my beer has a whopping 1735777 calories? Or does it mean to say 173.5777 This is for 12 ounces.
