I was in Aptos last weekend! I'm kind of winging it at this point. It's a fun experiment, but I'm not sure how it's going to turn out.

Awesome. I have a friend with 20-25 trees. I'll see what varieties he has. If 10 bushels gets me 20-30 gallons, is it safe to assume 5 bushels will get me 10-15 gallons? 10-15 gallons is probably more cider than I could drink in between harvests anyways, unless it's good enough to get me to...

I just bought a house with a Granny Smith tree and while I've only made beer before, I would like to try my hand at cider. I did a little reading and found that most people recommend blending different varieties, but it doesn't seem to be always necessary. Would I be able to get away with just...

Yeah. This is probably the time when you have the worst chance for getting her pregnant.

Better off Ted.

Made my first gallon today. 16470+1=16471

I contacted my local water provider and got a report, but a couple of the values seem really high. I just moved and have at this new location only made a couple batches. Both have been less than average to downright bad. It's mostly partial mash/extract at this point in time, but eventually...

I will be going to through this same process in a couple months hopefully. I have a mead in secondary aging. It's been there for about 2 months at this point in time. I worry about the mead sloshing about without a good layer of CO2. Any suggestions?

newb question - When capping a wine bottle are the caps the same as beer bottle caps? Can I use the same capper? Or do I need special caps and a special capper. I've got my first mead in secondary right now, I'd like to put in wine bottles so I can give a few away easier, but I don't want to...

Sorry dude. I don't get the wings thing. Lived on the east coast for a while within walking distance of supposedly a great wings place. Still don't get the wings infatuation. Not a ton of food or flavor for a lot of work and mess.

Fried egg sandwich. Toast, cheddar, tomato, two fried eggs, salt and pepper.
