Try this yeast if you haven't already. I just went back to it after trying for the first time and I'm very impressed. It is fast and furious - will go from 1.07 to 1.01 in 3-4 days. Yeast doesn't drop-out until about 1.002 but a few weeks of aging brings that smooth apple taste back...

Came out awesome. Added 1 lb of frozen, semi-thawed raspberries during 24 hr cold-crash. FG 1.005. Filtered, kegged & force-carbed.

In these pics I'm racking directly from the primary ferment (better bottle), through a sterile filter, and into the keg. I did this at about 3 psi in 10 mins. Cider is totally clear, yeast-free, and ready for carbing. The filter I use is a 2-222 Single-Open End 0.45 micron filter. All...

Most filter setups that I read about can be described below (from Midwest Supplies): "In order to filter beer or wine you will need to have a Cornelius keg system with a minimum of 2 kegs. Un-carbonated product from one tank is pushed with CO2 through the filter into the sanitized empty tank...

Brown Rice Syrup has an interesting profile: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_rice_syrup "The final product is 45% maltose, 3% glucose, and 52% maltotriose" I'm steering away from malt due to gluten-free concerns. I'm wondering if anyone has tried it with cider, and if anyone has...

New to the forum ... I've been reading the stickies and hearing a lot about the UV-pasteurized juice that some of you are starting with. I see products on the market such as this: http://www.freshwatersystems.com/p-4499-minipure-min-1-1-gpm-ultraviolet-water-purifier.aspx (Rated at 1...
