You may have left it too long before using it. It's really only supposed to be rehydrated for ~15 minutes before use. Leaving it alone for a few days may have done more damage than pitching it in...

The dose rate for killing wild yeast initially is 1 tablet per gallon, but that is before the yeast are even introduced. I don't think you need that much at bottling to prevent oxidation. I'd go...

I would think you would either have to have two ducts (side by side arrangement) so that there is a cold air return, or have one duct and stack them, so that the cold air sinks down to the bottom...

I'm not advanced by any means, but ruby seems like an odd choice to start off with, mainly because (a) it's not that popular in comparrison, and (b) it's very high level. In hindsight of my...

I suppose you could also do a test; take a tablet, crush it up, and put just the tiniest amount in a large glass of water. See what that smells like, and report back.

I always thought crushed...

After 4-5 months I would have thought it to be gone. Can you describe the smell? Perhaps it's something different that we can help identify.

If you followed that recipe with all the ingredients, you simply have to wait longer. It really does take longer than you think. That juice (purree) has a lot of solid matter in it, it's going to...

If it's the white two-gallon buckt I'm thinking of, I have the same one. Make sure that you press the airlock pretty far down into the gromet, to force the gromet against the sides of the drilled...

If you leave out the acid, it may taste "dull". The acid give it a little more of a bite on your tounge; think about how milk is smooth, and orange juice is "grabby". The tannins probably help the...

what type of "not clear" is it? Is it still basically opaque, or is it more of a cloudy? Also, which fining agent did you use? It would also be helpful to have the recipe and/or any notes you have...

Nottingham flocculation

I made a batch of ~1.084 cider using 5 gallons of juice, 4 lbs light brn sugar, 1 lb honey. I've never used anything other than wine yeast, but this time I wanted to see if there was any difference...

Yep! Rack every two months till there isn't any yeast on the bottom. Not even a thin layer. It takes longer for all of to drop out than you think. It will probably take at least 3 rackings.

I wouldn't use the no rinse cleaner. It says no rinse, but why would you want that flavour in your wine? I usually scrub everything with hot soapy water, rinse well, dry, and give a quick misting...

it doesn't look bad, the chlorine level looks pretty low. I'd throw about 1/4 of a campden tablet in before the boil, stir, and call it good to go.
