    JAOM Question.

    Had to try it. It's very hot with a slight taste if cinnamon. It's so hot I can barley discern any other flavors. I'll wait til the rest of the fruit to drop, rack it. Ill just put it in the bottom of the closet and forget about for a couple of months.

    JAOM Question.

    I have a 1 gallon batch going right now, and have a quick question. It's on day 63 and it's crystal clear but very little fruit has dropped. Only about five raisins. What do I do now? Do I just wait til it all falls?

    Filtering

    As anyone tried filtering cider with a filter? A buddy of mine bought me a filtering system to filter from one keg to another. Has anyone used anything like this before? If so, can you give me any pointers and let me know what to expect?

    Yeast Under Pressure!

    What exactly happens to the yeast when they are in the keg? Does it kill it, over time? Force it to the bottom? What does the pressure in the keg do to yeast?

    I was scolded at LHBS today when I told em I don't usually use a secondary

    I don't normally get a whole lot of of sediment in my beers. When fermentation is complete, and the yeast settles, i rack into my bottling bucket ( the one with the valve on the bottom). I then cold crash It in my mini fridge that is in my shop for about 2-3 days. The fridge sits on my work...

    DIY Bucket Fermenters

    I just ordered 5 fermenting buckets and replacement grommets from Midwest brewing supplies, and it says in the web site, the grommets, are for a 1/2" drilled hole. As far as a carboy bung to put in it, measure the top and the bottom and drill a hole size in between that. The bung is tapered so...

    Mountain dew mead!!!!

    Why not make a 1 gal and just pour a can or two of the Dew in it after its done. If the "mead" is fermented dry, there might be enough sodium benzoate it to keep the extra sugar ur adding to it from fermenting any further. Then you will have all the Dew flavor.
