Thanks, figured that was all there was to it.

I have 10 gallons of apple cider that I've been working on at home. I took 5 gallons to dry with D47 wine yeast and am planning on just adding some priming sugar to this batch and bottling. The other 5 gallons I made with Nottingham. I racked this batch to the secondary at 1.010. I'm hoping that...

Going to Vintage Virginia. It's the place that makes Albemarle Cider Works cider. They quoted me $7/gallon, plus you don't have to fight the insanity of the crowds at Carter Mountain.

Dear all, I'm planning on making a hard cider for the first time this weekend. I was planning on using Nottingham yeast and fresh-pressed cider from a local orchard. I was hoping to do two four gallon batches in two 5 gallon glass carboys. I've been reading on several threads to use pectin...

I made this recipe (with a little extra pumpkin) about two months ago. Overall, I used 64 oz of canned pumpkin in the mash. I ended up using 1.5 Tbs Trader Joe's Pumpkin Pie spice and Sugar in the Raw for priming. I've already sampled at two weeks and have to say that it turned out quite nicely...

Hey all, I've brewed a couple of extract and a couple of all grain batches of beer in the past, but I'm going to make an attempt at cider that I'm hoping to serve at a friend's wedding rehearsal dinner. Luckily, there is a local cidery that is willing to sell fresh-pressed juice for a...

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I ended up using 2 oz of oak chips soaked in Maker's 46. I soaked the chips for approximately 5 days and added them directly to the secondary upon transfer from the primary. At 4 weeks there is a strong but not overwhelming oak flavor. The bourbon is subtle...

I'm a relative novice when it comes to brewing. I've completed a couple of batches before, but it's been over a year. I'm currently brewing a Brewer's Best Irish Stout. I'm thinking about adding a coffee or bourbon flavor to it. Any recommendations on how to best add this flavor. I think I've...
