I am in!

OP, I like your style!! I am currently making a Chocolate milk stout and have never used chocolate or lactose before. I wasn't sure when to add my bakers unsweetened chocolate bars and will go with 30 and 45. I will post how it turns out, but how was yours on the vanilla coffee?

Yes, me too!

CvilleKevin, I appreciate all of the hard work replying to us newbees trying our hand at cider. I have been brewing for years, but never tried cider. On a whim, I picked up 2 gallons of pasteurized cider from a local orchard with the intention of trying. I have decided to use light brown...

I would use these tools well!!

I am also looking to try some cider recipe. I have been brewing for a few years now and actually am out of room in my carboys, however opportunity knocked and I picked up fresh pure cider from an apple orchard and have an old Mr. Beer fermenter I want to use. (I am glad I kept it!). I checked...

I'm in for winning these great items.

I am gladly replying for my chance to win. Thank you for doing this!

I am still disable and the carboy cleaner will give me more independence back.

Thanks for the tip on the pils, but too late. I got a low gravity reading of 1.048, but if it taste good, I'm cool with that. I am thinking that there is no reason to use pils. Two batches I used it for only got me low gravity (although I need to improve my sparging skills). I can just use 2...

Thanks. I was looking for a citrusy flavor. I have used the piney types of hops and a combination of both. I'm trying to determine exactly what the citrusy kind taste like. I brewed before I read your reply and ended up going with 1 oz Amarillo at 60, .5 Citra at 45 and another .5 at 30, 1...
