    Cider House select 'flavor enhancers': hopped citrus, review

    (couldn't find any reviews of these -- found one old related thread that was DIY: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/dry-hopped-citrus-peels-blackcurrant.408045/ ) Cider House select has a (new?) line of 'flavor enhancers', really just herb infusion packs. I sampled the "hopped citrus...

    Iowa FS: 15gal+ Brew Bag and SS false bottom

    Interested in trying BIAB, or scaling up your current system to do 10/15 gallon batches? This also would work for a mash tun lining and filter (Mash-in-a-bag). Selling because I upgraded to a stainless mesh basket -- the bag did not work well for pumped recirculation due to mesh size being...

    Questions after first time bottling with wine bottles / corks

    So I did a 1gal wine kit last year, bottled n beer bottles, just to try it. It was ok, so I bought and made an expensive 6gal kit of winexpert eclipse lodi zinfandel, let it age for 7 months, and bottled it today. It is very good, so I am happy with that. I had some equipment problems...

    keg leak through steel underneath rubber top

    Here's a new one to me! I wouldn't have caught it had I not spilled a little beer in transferring. It was a no-so-perfect complication to a no-so-perfect night with a new batch of used kegs which I spent 4 hours cleaning and reconditioning, a using a new oxygen-free sterile-siphon method, etc...

    1/2/3 vessel convertible setup?

    I figured that this can't really be a new idea that I thought of while considering what kind of indoor system to build: an electric setup that can do all of the common methods, depending on how much and how strong of a wort you are making, temperature step requirements, etc: - 1 vessel BIAB...

    Ideal yeast selection for flavor vs. time tradeoff

    TLDR: What is the best yeast and temperature if I want to turn a store-juice-based cider around in one month? (I force carb) For people with attention spans: I started out my cider making with just straight juice and S-04 / Nottingham. I found that this went fairly slowly (3 weeks + to reach...

    I had been re-pitching unwashed S-04/nottingham yeast for my apfelwein-style ciders (technically, just dumping in more juice and sugar, having pasteurized the sugar+nutrient mix and used starSan on the outside of the juice containers, and the equipment.) Two times out of 8 so far, I have had...
