It is!

All, Having reached the point where it was necessary for me to give up alcohol entirely, I am selling my home brewing equipment. None of it is professional grade, but it has served me well. Here's a link to the Craigslist advert. Let me know if you have questions...

Oops! Clarification: I meant for carbing it, not for sweetening.

Many thanks. I think that's a good idea. I will give it another week in secondary, then carb it. Do you use apple juice, honey, maple syrup, corn sugar, brown sugar, white sugar, sugar in the raw, or...?

All, I started this cider - https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?p=7271214 - a few weeks back. I just moved this to secondary - went from 1.060 to 1.000 - 8% ABV or thereabouts. It has a slightly bitter flavor. Would y'all recommend leaving it in secondary, adding stevia and bottling...

Stevia + Erythritol from Target - tested...BLAH...

I will do so. My thinking was that grape / apple blends can be quite good, so I decided to try the same...fermented.

Did you like the result? That term, "difference," does not imply a good outcome, automatically. :)

All, I recently started a cider with 4.5 gallons apple cider (from Costco - no preservatives, seasonal...good stuff) and .5 gallon grape juice by Paul Newman (also de Costco). I sprinkled a packet of Cider House Select Cider yeast. OG - 1.060 I suspect the grape won't leave enough of a...

All, Made a hard cider using 5 gallons of apple cider, plus 2 cans of concentrate. Started with regular yeast, which didn't really go for long, then added champagne yeast as a secondary yeast, which I then let ferment for over three months, one month in primary, 2+ in secondary. I went to...

Potentially, although there's no sorbate on the ingredient list. And, I recall the estimated FG was 6.5 - 7%, based on the initial OG. I'll keep it locked and watch it for awhile longer...if nothing doing, I may repitch with a starter.

White Labs WLP775 Unfortunately, while I thought I had written down the OG, I did not. The gravity when I moved it from primary to secondary was at 0.

All, I added 7 oz. of molasses to my cider about a week after moving it to secondary. A week later, I've noticed little activity (no bubbling). Does molasses take awhile, or could this be stalled and need a re-pitch? Thanks! --Jonathan

Randzor, It seemed a bit more difficult, since the serving size is based on made product, but then I considered that sugars remain the same. So, I calculated thusly: 27 sugars per serving times 6 servings per container = 162 grams of sugars. 162 grams of sugars divided by a 12 fl. oz...

All, I just placed a cider in the fermenter, consisting of: 4 gallons of blended cider from a local supplier in Michigan, Shelton's Farms. 1/2 gallon of the same cider used as a yeast starter White Laps WLP775 2 containers of frozen apple juice from Wal-Mart I made a starter from the...

Fellow ciderers: I am going to make my first batch since an attempt at Ed Wort's apfelvine a few years back. My plan is to use 4 gallons of apple cider, along with two containers of frozen apple juice, and 1 additional gallon of water. I want to go gluten-free, so my plan is to go with a...

Oooh! Oooh! Or use a lower ABV yeast until the honey overwhelms, then "crash" it and bottle with a champagne yeast! Ooooh! Sorry - new recipes do get me excited.

BrewBros and Sis, A few months back, I made the following Tripel recipe, which turned out fantastically: Pilsen DME 8.5 lbs 1 lb table sugar 1 lb corn sugar Hops 1.5 oz - Styrian Goldings (substitute: Fuggle, Willamette) (60 m.) 1 oz - Saaz (substitute: Sladek, Lublin, Sterling...
