    Florida Heading to Orlando next week - beer suggestions

    I was going to say that in Jax as well. Personally I think the cigar city stuff tastes like they add cigar ash in there but to each his own. Orlando Actually has its own brewery Orlando Brewing. Pretty neat place. Where you REALLY want to stop by is the Crooked Can in Winter Garden 'burbs. They...

    Cranberry Splash Cider

    I thought that part of the process was pretty easy if nothing more to have them mixed together really well. Dump it all into the carboy and go about your day. Speaking of I was going to do the 5 gallon tonight, had everything ready to go and realized how much more karo syrup that really was and...

    Cranberry Splash Cider

    Hey all, cider is going to be done this saturday! Can you or anyone tell me more about your bottling process? Are you bottling for a month straight, or adding priming sugar? I haven't done much cider.

    Cranberry Splash Cider

    Sure will, it's nearly a week and it's been cranking away like a science project. Today was the first day it's started slowing down. No hurry though, I have it timed out to be drinking for Halloween.

    Cranberry Splash Cider

    wait, did you throw the teabag or the water into the fermentor? lol. I picked up all the stuff last night but the Malic acid was tough to find so I ended up grabbing it off Amazon. I have some D47 and some Danstar Nottingham Ale yeasts laying around. Soon as the acid comes in I'll post some brew...

    I'm just guessing he was throwing a tea bag into a post boil water for a minute or two then throwing it into the carboy?

    read if you use MR BEER kit

    Does anyone here not have spell check? The same thing can be said for your grammar. Mr Beer is an awesome introduction to bigger and better brewing and regardless of what you think of it, we all owe a lot to them for the success of this hobby. I'm really glad you posted this though, it makes...

    Mr Beer - Read all about it and ask questions

    Just bought my brother in law a kit for christmas but noticed the new kits don't come with bottles so I'm going to give him 6 of my old mr beer plastic bottles I never used.
