    Herman Joseph

    I remember Herman Joseph, it was released by Coors about the same time they originally released their version of Killians (early to mid '80's?). I don't think it was a porter, but it's been a really long time. Don't know about any recipes.

    Scrumpy's Farmhouse Style

    I think this is probably the scrumpy Finn is talking about: http://www.organicscrumpy.com/ I've had it and it's pretty good. I'm pretty sure the recipe that includes the meat is archaic/not in common use and definitely not in the scrumpy he refers to.

    Fruit in secondary

    Hi, I'm new to the forum and I'm pretty new to making cider. Right now I have 5 gallons of cider in my primary (just apple juice into which I pitched White Labs English Cider Yeast - WLP 775). I would like to do some experimentation with fruit in the secondary. I have four one gallon glass...

    Carbing One Gallon

    I just made a gallon of cider, I used half a teaspoon per bottle, putting it directly into the bottle. It turned out pretty well, carbonation wise anyhow.
