Yep, I feel like an idiot. 30g per serving. So I shouldn't be using the entire can of concentrate I take it.

Before clogging the forum with yet another backsweetening thread, I've tried to read the dozens of other ones out there but still can't find an answer and don't want to waste another batch of cider..... The last batch of cider I made I attempted to impart some more apple flavor into it so I...

To sanitize bottles, can't you just put them in the dishwasher (provided you have one of course) and run through a hot water rinse only cycle? Or am I supposed to be doing more than that?

The local homebrew store (Midwest) actually recommended that I use WYeast's Whitbread 1099 for a batch of cider. It's an ale yeast so I'm not completely sure what the rationale on recommending it to me was but I believe it had something to do with being a little more fruity and not so...

Nothing wrong with them at all. I've just used most of their kits and I'm looking for some other options out there. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions though.

This is my first post so my apologies if there's a thread on this somewhere else..... Just wondering where everyone recommends to go for buying beer kits? I live in Minneapolis so I'm close to Northern Brewer and Midwest so those are out. Is Austinhomebrew.com a good place? Any advice...
