I wanted to brew this beer for two reason, one to see if I could and two because I had a party coming up and like so many recipes, this was based on necessity! Efficiency: 70% Ingredients: 6 lbs US 2-row malt 2 lbs white wheat malt 2 lbs flaked oats 4 oz Crystal 120L 4 oz lactose 1 oz...

I would be wary of that, the cider will continue to ferment possibly down to 1.000 or close to it and that will certainly create a bottle bomb if you bottle it around the same SG that I sealed the keg. By putting it in the fridge I'm slowing the fermentation down so we try and drink it within a...

I did actually make a batch this year, it's tasting great! I'm glad to see that folks, a year later, are finally trying it! Cheers!

I made this again using Wyeast 1028, sealing the keg at 1.016, fermenting to 1.012 and refrigerating. Details: http://www.allgrains.net/2013/09/fresh-london-cider.html PERFECT! Much more apple character and a fresher taste. I'd stick with 1028 from now on for my tastes, but you can try any...

After 24 hours in the fridge I poured off about a pint into a sanitary jar (saved the yeast for next batch) and then one more. After that it was just cider and very little or no yeast - definitely no yeasty flavors. I did confirm through a cobra tap. Do make sure to agitate the sample enough to...

Welcome from Somerville! : D

Weird.. works for me on different computers. Here's the direct link: http://allgrains.blogspot.com/2012/12/beer-braised-short-ribs.html

I'm in Somerville and oh so wishing I had the cash to beat the new nano/micro breweries that are starting around here. I have the ideas, just not the money :P

What don't you get? It's delicious, has beer in it and is full of unhealthy fat :D

Thanks folks! :)

Glad to hear it - I wasn't too happy about dumping 4 gallons but glad I had a use for at least one. It was my first truly rotten beer - there have been weak ones and boring ones but this was beyond that ;) I agree with the folks above, trust those buds - it can't kill ya! ^_^

I have been on the site for a long while now and never really introduced myself! My name is Alex and I've been brewing for about 2.5 years now. I love it and am often times obsessed but Homebrewtalk keeps me sane (or feeds my addiction) and has taught me so much! Big thanks to the...
