Jason, I have the cone brew book and I have been planning on making the extract version of this recipe. Did you use real maple syrup or just a basic store brand like Log Cabin? Thanks, Scott

Thanks for your replies. My new plan is to taste it and then determine if I should add any malic acid. Thanks agian.

So I realize that malic acid is used to adjust the pH, but what flavor difference would it make to my cider? Can I just use taste to tell if I might need malic acid? Like I said earlier this is my first attempt at making a cider.

Thanks for your reply. I am going to get some malic acid and add it when I transfer to the secondary.

I was just trying to help out JAStout with possibly finding a clone recipe for Guinness Extra Stout. In his original post he mentioned Foriegn Gunniess Extra Stout. Like I have stated I have never made this recipe but I did take it straight from the Clone Brews 2nd Edition book. Maybe the...

I added the honey when I took the pot off the stove. I am going to let it sit for a few more days in my secondary and take another gravity reading and bottle it. After its bottled for 3 weeks or so I will give it a try. Even if its a little dry I got some friends that would never pass up FREE...

Netflyer, The only sugar in the kit was for priming. Basically the kit consisted of 3.3 lbs of golden light extract, 3 lbs of clover honey, 1 lb of grains, hops, and priming sugar. I have read some posts that say you can add lactose at bottling if the beer is too dry. One post said the lactose...

To check the gravity I am using just a basic hydrometer. I have tested just plain water and it reads correct. As far as my yeast I used American Ale Wyeast Propagator. My original gravity was 1.050. Thanks for Replying

Hello, I am new to the art of brewing beer. I am only on my second batch my first being an apple flavored ale. I purchased Midwest's Honey Bee Ale kit which is my second batch. I have a slight concern about the results I am getting while brewing this kit. My final gravity is supposed to be...
