  An update on my yeast/cider experiment: I still have all three one-gallon batches in secondary
  (the original, Aug. 20 using a Lalvin wine years; and the two simultaneous batches, one using
  hefeweizen ...

• Posted in thread: Hard Cider still fermenting (over a week) on 11-20-2007 at 11:13 PM
  Hm. I've had a batch going since Aug. 20, racked once, and it's still going, albeit very
  slowly, and hasn't cleared. Should I be worried? (It's 1 gallon, unfiltered, pasteurized,
  Lalvin 71B-1122 yeast...

  Yooper has far more experience than I, but I'd have to agree: Relax, don't rush, and don't
  worry. For my first (and so far only complete) batch of mead, after racking to secondary, I
  literally drove i...

  Not once, but twice, on two different batches of cranberry melomel/cyser (different recipes,
  one adds the fruit in primary, the other has more apple juice and adds the cranberries in
  secondary).Anyway...

• Posted in thread: How long does fermentation last on 11-18-2007 at 04:16 AM
  I don't think a month is a long time. I've had a batch going since Aug. 20 or so, and it's
  still fermenting a little (pushing a bubble out of the fermentation lock at least a couple
  times a day). Depe...

  Well, no one seems to have much experience with added-fruit cysers, so I decided to wing it
  with an assortment of advice from local brewers who've made meads, wines and ciders. Here's
  what I've done s...

  The only caveat I'd add to David_42's comment is that you might well get a krauesen with ale
  yeast, and from what I've myself and read here, and you should definitely be ready for a
  healthy one if you...

  I'm sure you've seen the data sheet for Nottingham ( I'm still in the midst of my first
  cider/yeast experiment (all using varieties that should ferment out fairly dry), so no
  first-hand experience he...

• Posted in thread: Sorry for the long thread...Need expert opinions! on 11-14-2007 at 06:03 AM
  I can't speak to all your points, but I've been wrestling with your #2 for a week or so now as
  I plot a batch of cranberry cyser (see my post in the mead forum).After perusing these forums
  and other p...

  I am poised to start my second batch of mead ever. My first was a traditional mead (no fruit,
  spices) and turned out pretty well, but I think I want to try something drier, with fruit.
