No worries. I didn't mean to react badly. I was in the middle of racking and I was messing it up and getting all stressed out.

Yeah I get it. But they made the decision to try to make someone feel small and stupid instead of just helping or correcting nicely. I'll never understand that mentality, seems a shitty way to want to be. Kinda pointless and stupid.

Awesome thanks, something to invest in

Ok thanks. Bleh I already did 4 that way. Oh well, fingers crossed dipping it make it less bad! I'll do the sanitizer for the rest. Thanks.

Thank you. Is that generally better than sucking on the end, putting my thumb over and putting the end back in sanitizer? I only ask because I would worry about getting sanitizer in my cider. I know it's non toxic so maybe that doesn't matter. I thought I had kept it but I guess not! But they...

Does it really matter in the context of my question. First time fermenting then. Way to make a newbie feel welcome!

Right... I posted in here because it seemed the most generic for general advice about equipment and methods common to most brewing and more people brew beer than cider. Does the beverage really matter?

Hi everyone I hope this is the right place to ask. I am making 6 gals of hard cider using 3 types of yeast, so I have 2 gals of each type. I'm using 1 gal bottles, so two bottles for each type. This is my first time brewing. I'm due to rack into secondary and did the first last two bottles...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a recipe for apple wine that does not involve pressing/ juicing apples. I've seen some mention of putting frozen apples in a straining bag and adding sugar water. But then other sources say do not add water but add apple juice. I have a lot of apples and have already...

Hi everyone, I pressed about 8.5gal juice on Sunday, 3 I am using for apple wine, the rest for cider. I've never made it before so instead of trying it out on a small batch I thought I'd go all in and try a few different yeasts 🙃 I currently have 6 gallon bottles filled to the widest part (see...

Wow! I was expecting something like the odd brown apple

Hi everyone, I am attempting hard cider for the first time (4-5 gallons) with the guidance of a friend who has made it several times before. They have only used a juicer before, so since we are both going to be making cider we have decided to rent a press this coming weekend to make the process...
