Its said coopers ciders yeast on the packet. So it defiantly exists! :-)

Just wondering what percentage abv does the yeast die at?? I used it for my spiced cider with starting gravity of 1080. Thanks

my first thought was you disturbed the yeast pit. But if you left it a month in the keg it should of settled INLESS you moved it again? But if you've sanitized everything TWICE i'm stuck on what it could be! Arhh, Got my own version of Apfelwein on the go now :)

Don't worry mate, A few drops in 5 gallon will have no effect it'll be to watered down, nor will you be able to taste it :)

me ether mate.. I have to fish out all the bits.. Because i always mean to buy some.. But forget so i think what the hell!

Muslin bag to put it in, in the first place! :)

Arhhh okays! Just Basic mead? Juice, honey and coffee?

Still have not started this! I have the mixture in a bottle ready to be added!! Will start this on Friday when i am off work! XD Off topic, What is Missile Crisis Mead- Cafe Bustelo Espresso Mead (1 Liter bottle grenade)??? Sounds interesting.

I think it comes under wine :) I've made it before with tea bags, sugar and lime in secondary and came out very nice :) Well, I was making my spiced cider and had some left over Vanilla & Cinnimon so i thought for a christmas based Hard Ice Tea so I've reboiled the left over bits and put...

Started this cider on 9/9/11 Just checked on it today as first free time i've had as you could of guessed gravity is around 1.000 When i made it, I added small amount of spices. And added some more today! :) 12g of cin table spoon and half nutmeg Table spoon and half of ginger. & Added Wine...

Any more input based on experience?? As tomorrow i'm giving this ago!

Think i'll half all the amount and put them in primary! :) Then add in to secondary at the end as i feel is needed... (Will be looking for slight hints off) so that the taste should develop onces bottled. I'm just using normal apple juice from a carton.

Been reading and its seem that my amounts are to much and should be around 10 grams each? Hmm.. helppp please

Thats allot of yeast mate! yet, All i can say is, you won't have a issue because of the water! Just use tap water in future and save a buck!

I'm going to make a Cider for Christmas seen a few spiced recipes but came up with what I'd personally think would be in a spiced cider for me. Any ways, what do you guys think to what i'm proposing? All the ingredients are just the "powder" type of spice accept vanilla, Cinnamon and cloves...

I am right in thinking that .2lb is around 90grams? To me that seems allot, What the taste like at the end ? :)

I made it like this before... Apple juice from concentrate about 700g of sugar per one gallon.... And Hovis bread yeast. After about four days fermenting, it was drinkable and around 5% /sweet leave it a quick was allot strong and dry. Here is the main thing i noticed, Don't bother letting it...

I've been reading that adding brandy to Red wine and time makes port. has anyone tried this? What red wine would you use. like a kit etc? Or just just juice. Thanks! :D

I'm thinking of brewing something to save for over the xmas period! Any idea's on what I could make?

right mate I has started secondary fermentation. If you want it carb then keg it now, with a little extra sugar (100g) ish i think. If you don't want it carbed then leave the yeasties to get rid of all the apple juice. If you wanted to keep the apple flavour that you added search for "how to...
