  I'm not sure if a pound of sugar is typical, but I use 4 oz of concentrate per gallon of cider
  for priming.

  I didn't have a hydrometer when I started, so I can't be absolutely sure. I used Musselman's
  cider (or rather, cloudy apple juice), though, and the next jug was 1.052. I can't imagine
  there was too mu...

  Dry, but I bulk-aged it for several weeks before that.I just bottled a batch that I started in
  November, I'm hoping this one will be noticeably improved.

  You should look into sipping rums. You can get high end sipping rums for the same price as a
  midrange single malt scotch. Now of course they are two different animals. But both are very
  good and rum i...

  It's up to you. Mine was pretty good after 3 weeks or so, but I didn't add any additional
  sugar. Not much apple flavor though - apparently that comes back with time, but I don't know
  how much time.You...

  Really depends how much your looking to spend. Johnnie Walker Black or Gold label are really
  good, so is Ballantine 17. But the cost reflects the quality. On the cheaper side you have
  stuff like Chiva...

  I keep seeing 1 oz of dextrose per gallon before bottling. Anyone second this ? Is this
  slightly carbed or heavily carbed. ? Also, how much is 1 oz dextrose equivalent to in cups
  ?That will get you 2....

  I'm the same way, usually a tiny bit of water is good for me. But these would be awesome for my
  ciders/cysers. Thanks.:off:I've never smoked a cigar, sorry... :(Does anyone have a
  recommendation for b...

  I think it's wise to be skeptical in regards to articles that mention finding "detectable
  levels" of a scary-sounding substance. There are lots and lots of things that are detectable at
  much lower lev...

  I do 4 oz for 5 gallons. I would think 5 oz for 4 gallons could cause some bombs. You might
  want to put them in a contained area- I would.It's going to be high, 3.165 volumes according to
  my calculato...
