    Hard Cider, dead yeast?

    Such a thing as too much headroom?

    I am going to be experimenting a bit, and I am only looking to make maybe 1-2 gallon batches with said experiments (no use in wasting a full batch if its going to come out crummy anyhow) Anyway, I only have 6.5 gallon fermenter/carboys and I was wondering if there can be too much headroom?

    10 gallon Igloo for a brewing vessel?

    I was thinking of using a 10 gallon (or 5 gallon) industrial beverage igloo for my brewing vessel. Like This I know some people just use a bucket etc, I was thinking the insulation would be good for temperature regulation. I only ask because I have a 10 gallon and a 5 gallon igloo cooler on...

    Did I do a bad thing?

    Long story short, Mr. beer kit, first brew. Anyways, when I made the Blonde Ale I decided (because the book didnt say not to) dump an extra 1.5 cups of white granulated sugar into the mix before putting it to bed in my closet. I havnt really checked on it since then because a watched pot...
