I have a successful cider. Bottled it still today, and put a gallon jug in the fridge, it's fairly light, not too dry. Still has some apple flavor. I like it, on my 3rd glass tonight and enjoying it.

So far so good, I transferred my cider to a secondary last night, it's at 6.5 % ABV right now and I'm giving it a week or two to clarify. Then I'll bottle it. It's very tasty right now though.

I made 2 single gallon batches of cider this summer and spiced them with cinnamon and nutmeg, they both tasted terrible, mostly like nutmeg. So I've gone minimalist and just put 4 gallons of sweet cider in my Carboy with a pack of ec-1118 in there. It seemed like a good choice, anyone used it...

Hi all, I was planning on saving for a keg a system which I still am but after reading around it seemed that temperature controlled fermentation was highly recommended, I live in the south so it's now almost too hot in my house to ferment at all and I decided to try a DIY project to cool my...

Alright, I'm drinking my first bottle of my first home brewed beer, it's very good, not quite carbonated yet but I can taste the flavors thru the little carbonation it has, and this is going to be fantastic in another week or two. Thanks for the advice. It's a very thick beer, I know it's not...

Brewed my very first homebrew, an amber ale about 4 weeks ago. It's had 1 week in the primary, 2 weeks in the secondary and 1 week so far in bottles. It's driving me crazy to wait on it to bottle condition, I'm planning on one more week before I taste it. Got so antsy I picked up a 1 gallon...

So I'm still waiting to taste my first batch of homebrew which is bottle conditioning right now, but I want to develop a recipe that highlights the flavors of apple cider and cinnamon donuts that my family would always buy growing up. So imparting apple flavor into beer is simple enough, and...

If her kids live on the other side of the country then she hasn't and likely won't figure out what a Bword she is, you should act like your a little hard of hearing and thank her for the kind words next time, maybe she'll give up on getting thru to you and leave you be. In the mean time brew...

I read most of the 4 pages of replies here, I haven't seen one of the simplest solutions to the dog, it's called a dog dazer, find it on amazon for 25 bucks, you can use that. It emits a high pitch sound that dogs don't like and will keep them away. I'm glad you're going about things right with...

Well congratulations, I'll smoke a cigar tonight to celebrate Isaac's safe arrival. Great name too.

Unfortunately I didn't remove it from the burner before adding LME, I didn't turn the burner off either. I did taste a little of the wort when it was done and it didn't have any burnt flavor, just sweet wort a hops.

Thanks for the help. Glad to hear its Probably not ruined. I think I'll use my propane powered camping stove next time to get a more even heat and more control. It's a learning experience, and I'm so glad I took the plunge.

I brewed my first batch ever from an extract kit by brewers best last night and it's bubbling away in the fermentor now. I used a stainless pot on an electric stove and after all was done I noticed some burned on residue in the bottom of the pot that follows the design of the burner underneath...
