^ you can use it to brew anything really. I'm doing it for mostly future ciders

^ yes, I know. :D

well, its going very slow but I'm getting some bubbles out the airlock. One of them just hasn't started yet.

I always liked the idea of wild yeast. I do have one batch of unpasteurized cider brewing right now with nothing added to it. Can't wait for the outcome of that. Long story short I now want to try some wild yeast but without the risk of loosing 5 gallons of cider every time I do it. Plus when I...

Dam wish I had the space for a barrel like that.

Whatever you want to call it, it sounds like you'll have something good to drink with some time.

Ok,thanks for the advise. I don't mind letting things age. What do you consider a "long" time? Thanks for the welcome. It's White Labs WLP023 Burton Ale
