That is super clear! Mine is still very cloudy, but it does seem to be clearing VERY slowly if I try real hard to imagine it. I like how you busted yourself on the double-posting! I thought I was just seeing things. :mug:

I just bottled my 1 year old batch and it is tasting great! Possibly a little sweet for my own preference, but that's being picky. I will definitely be making this again very soon!

Just started my 1.5 gallon batch this past weekend! Looks and smells great! I have to hold myself back from drinking it right now! :)

Antifreeze is sweet, but... Can't wait to sample it...the Vanilla! :)

Wow! That does look like you are fermenting Orange Juice!

Hmmm...great idea. Not sure i could use 13, because of my OCD, but I might give this a try with 12, or 14 bags! :) I got an extra pack of 1118 just hanging around begging to be used...

LOL - That is now my favorite quote, too! :mug:

That does sound nasty! Just as nasty as the rhubarb batch I have aging in my basement! :) It started off smelling/tasting disgusting, but it has come a long way... Now, it's only somewhat disgusting. :) I figured a splash of it in some strawberry wine (sitting right next to it) will go...

This is a great idea! I have a 3 year old son and a 1 year old son and this would be a great idea to do for them. I have no clue about making it last that long, but great idea! My Dad made a batch of dandelion wine when I was only a few years old. He made two bottles, one broke during...

My favorite cider/apple wine is mulled flavor. Grocery stores, or your local cider mill, often carry "mulling spices." Sometimes in a cheesecloth sack, sometimes in a bag. I warm a little bit of cider on the stove, then add the bag, or even toss the spices in without the bag, to help the flavors...

Yep, I would also ferment closer to 65, if possible. That being said, I had a batch ferment much warmer and it too fermented and finished in about a week and the end result was fine. I wouldn't do it again :) but it was ok. Gotta spend the $$ and get a hydrometer, for sure. Better make it...

I agree. - Towel over primary for the first week - Drill small hole with gromet and airlock in plastic lid Enjoy!

It doesn't sound bad. Let it sit for a month before you rack. Then you can rack to fulfill you urage to do something! :) I never carbonate my cider, so not sure on that part. I have zero patience, so not sure why I make my own brews, which require tons of patience... :)

Sounds about right... I would, however, toss in some more yeast. Then, cover it with a towel, let it sit for a week. Then, add airlock. Then, stop worrying. :)

If your cider is only a month, or so old, give it time. Like a year! :) I have tasted my ciders along the way and they change flavor as they age for sure. As long as it isn't turning into vinegar, I wouldn't be overly worried at this point. Just curious why you bottled so quick? I...
