How long do I have to let the yeast starter go before I add it to everything else? How long do I let the whole thing ferment for? Can I make this in my carboy? Sorry, I'm just full of questions!

My cider is all bottled now. Waiting for it to carb up a bit and then I'm going to stovetop pasteurize it. I did try a little with my friends and it was pretty tasty. :)

Right off of Lititz Pike near Route 30.

I'm pretty new to brewing. I just successfully did my own hard cider and I'm wanting to try beer now. I typically like wheat beer or lagers. Is there a simple recipe for beginners that I could try?

Ok, it's been going for 5 days now and my airlock is hardly bubbling any more when it had been going nearly constantly a couple of days ago. Is this normal?

Just started out and I'm just north of Lancaster city. :)

Good to know! I definitely don't want a gusher! The recipe is for 5.25 gallons of juice in a 6 gallon carboy, which is what I have.

Thanks! This is like my new little baby. Earlier, I was just sitting by it, watching it do it's thing. I have convinced pretty much everyone I know to be a taste tester so it had better turn out well! But this is science and I consider myself to be an exceptional science student, so it should...

I appreciate all the info. And after doing hours of my own research, as well as info from this site, I did go out and purchase a 6 gallon carboy, bung, airlock, yeast specific for cider, yeast nutrient, and apple juice. Started it on Monday night and so far so good. This is my first time, but...

Wow, thanks for all the info. I have taken a lot of biology courses but this is my first microbiology class so I'm not all the knowledgeable about the whole process. But I'm sure my teacher would be willing to help me out. She's pretty awesome. My aim for my first go at it is to go for cheap and...

What is the easiest and most inexpensive way to get started? Oddly enough, my college microbiology teacher is the one who got me interested in making my own hard cider. I love the angry orchard stuff but it's pretty expensive. So I'm just looking for a cheap way to give it a try to see if I'm...
