Well, you can use it for another batch of cider if you'd like, also you can make bread with it! For cider just pour the juice over the "waste" and let it start to bubble. It should work the same as a...

Newton's Folly Clone

I'm looking around to see if anyone has a clone for their Granny Smith flavor. My brother is quite partial to the stuff, so I'd like to make him a batch. It is fairly low ABV so I'm assuming that...

Id love to get my hands on a 3 gallon barrel. But I'm pretty sure they don't make those. I'll look around fir a barrel, and I'll try to get around to making this one sometime before I go.

Do you think Silicon will deteriorate in an alcohol rich environment? The batch I'd like to put in there will be about 10% I believe. Or at least roughly that amt. considering I don't have a...

Well, seeing as how a box that is 1 cubic foot holds 7 gallons, I don't think this project will be too difficult. Maybe, I'm underestimating this project, but it should by something fun to work on.

I could always use straps to create the pressure. Straps running horizontally and vertically. They could put a lot of pressure on it if I use wratcheting straps.

I'm looking around, and I've notices that barrels are fairly expensive. Also that I wouldn't know how to go about making one. I'm toying with the idea of making a barrel box for my cider. Basically...

It could be that it got hot enough to make the yeast over react, or just plain speed it. The smell might be just a very high concentration of the CO2 and other byproducts of the yeast. I know that...
