    when to bottle and be safe

    Hi, thanks for good advice, 1.060 was at the beginning, now its's around 1, I will wait until its stops completely, might do some experiments other time.

    when to bottle and be safe

    1.06 so i guess same as your numbers, i was told in previous posts that when it reaches 1 it will be completely finish so I think it might be close enough, but its is still going - judging from slow moving bubbles, just will try to wait few more days,

    when to bottle and be safe

    So original gravity of my cider was around 6, now its like 1, so im curious if i bottle that - is it likely to explode, maybe some have experience what's the safe option. Cheers

    camden tablets limitations

    Is it ok to apply camden tablets for the 3rd time? I'm thinking of doing that to try to get rid of that whit stuff forming, and stabilize it befor final stagfe of botling. Before that it was treated that way - first when decanting from buckets to smaller containers, then after about two months -...

    nasty white stuff

    Thanks a lot!! What about pouring into bottles and pasteurizing it? Would it kill those pellicle microbes? If I decide to use sulfites - could it change the flavor and such? Are those microbes occure only where they are visible to eye? If I would use a torch to burn it - would it be good idea?:>

    getting rid of meathane from my cider(apple jack as well)

    Was thinking if anybody tried to make cider, apple jack, or ice cider - methanol free. I'm wondering is there's a method that could be something between making calvados . Would methanol evaporate if left for prolonged period in open containers? cheers

    yeast preservation and storage techniques

    Looks like my cider is almost finished fermentation wise...and was thinking if that wild yeast that is still working there could be preserved for future use, although I heard there is different strains starting the process and different ones might continue and so on, I still think it would be...

    specific gravity reading

    wild yeast that was in the juice. From four 20 litres containers two of them - ice ciders are really tasty - with good bit of sugar, and other two - not so much - bitter and kind of off-flavor - vinegar like(update - not vineger like - but more biter, dry finish like), but need to confirm it...

    thanks! What about residual sugar? not sure if i can have proper ice cider approach as apples were almost fully thawed...

    specific gravity reading

    not sure how to read it, is it 70 or 60? and what does it mean - what should be the final estimated alcohol content? it was quite cold juice if that's important ...

    Who all is making ice cider here, recipes?

    I'm at the stage of fermenting my ice cider - I made it by pressing full apples previously frozen then completely thawed - I used wild yeast - by pitching some cider I had made about week before(already at second fermentation)...I'm curious is there any huge difference between thawed and frozen...

    How to thaw 1500lbs of frozen apples?

    Did more or less what I intended to do, not much sanitizing - but used boiled water and cleaned all the containers with it - plus I used cider I pressed about week earlier - with good amount of yeast in it - and some alcohol already as well. About thawing now - I'm curious if there's much...
