    High ABV Cyser, questions on recipe/aging

    Well I just got back into brewing in a big way (went all grain) and decided I might like to try my hand at something a bit more interesting. The goal is to make a cyser with an ABV of 20%. Partially I want to go for such a high ABV mead for the challenge, for the heck of it, because it sound...

    How the hell do I stop my sister's cat from stealing my yeast?

    Ok, the cat has done it again. This time she made off with $5 of go-ferm and before that it was yeast hulls. Before that it was my fermaid-k. I try to keep my brewing stuff in a sealed box so that she can't get to it but the second I take anything out she ninjas it when I'm not looking. She...

Or should I just let the yeast ferment it all out and...

    Fermentation stopped at 1.040???

    Ok, I made a 1 Gallon batch of cider using Steinburg's Wine Yeast from The Beverage People in Santa Rosa. They said that the yeast would leave a little left over sugar but I didn't expect it to stop fermenting at 1.040! I didn't get a SG but it's definitely around 5-7% abv. I'm priming a test...
