i did about 4 cases of cider in my dishwasher and i havent had any issues. The cider tasted funny the first couple days but after it sat for about 2 weeks the apple flavor came out more. I would always pasteurize this way from now on. Granted i dont know anything about my dishwasher. Its...

recipe will be tough i kinda just winged it from a recipe that i found on here some where, i know i should have wrote it down but i didnt. Starting OG was 1088 on 2-16. then the last reading was 3-9 and it was 1026. i found something i had posted this is a rough estimate on recipe...

I have a mint chocolate oatmeal stout that i have been working on for about a month. The gravity has been stuck on 1026 for about almost 15 days now maybe a little longer. I was wondering if i decide to bottle this now what should i be looking out for?

no ididnt make a starter. The temps are around the low 60s. Cider #1 is wrapped in a blanket right now like a lttle baby but it is still around 62 and i think thats where it is going to stay. Rac king on to the notty cake is a good idea i might just try that. I took another reading today of...

just bought the stuff for my brew of this today and i am excited to get this under way. My only problem is i have bottle shortage and might have to wait since i have 5 gals of cider and 5 gals of mint chocolate oatmeal stout that would be ready about the same time as this. Too much beer...

Lets see i have 5 gallons of ipa 5 gallons of beligan trippel 5 gallons of mint chocolate oatmeal stout and 10 gallons of cider 4653.5 + 25 = 4678.5

so i made this the other day. I changed out the chocolate chips for an 8oz can of hershys syrup. The OG came out at 1088. This is going to be a big beer. I decided that i was going to put some mint extract into the secondary but very little so i dont make it to crazy

so i have a question i have a 5 gal batch that started out at 1076, its been about two weeks the airlock has slowed alot but i still see action going on inside. It kinda looks like soda bubbles. Now when i get closer to being done i was going to add some apple juice concentrate to bring back...

thanks guys i did read something on the smell after i posted this, but i do apprcieate the responses.

I just started a batch of cider the other day maybe 4 days ago and it really didnt do too much fermenting that i could see. I mean the airlock only bubbled slighty for about a day. I used a white labs english cider yeast. the thing that is giving me cause to ask is that my basement smells...

im kinda new at this too but i have done a few partial mash beers and i think you should steep the oats at a temp of 150 for about 20 to 25 mins. I could be wrong but this would be my suggestion. Now you little experiment sounds interesting though. I would be interested to hear how this came out.

so the cider is fermenting. I got the 2.5# of honey and 1# of light brown sugar. i ll do the spices in the secondary ive decided. the OG was 1.076. So this could be a pretty good little cider for my first as long as i can get it down real low. Hopefully i can be real patient And now i wait.
