Have several gallons of mead that have finished fermenting and I am ready to rack it off the yeast cake. I have a few Gold Peak bottles from some tea that I drank. After finishing the tea, I rinsed the bottles and set them aside. They are 59oz bottles that I figure would be perfect to account...

OK, so I learned that when I thought i was making Apfelwein, I was actually making cyser. So I am going to try this again. But I am out of empty carboys. The apple juice came in sealed 1 gallon plastic containers. Can I just put the yeast and dextrose in the plastic container, attach the...

So, what is the difference between a cyser and apfelwein?

Damn... Ive already got a cyser. Lol. I was hoping the cider base instead of the juice base would make it different. Ok, time to try Ed Worts recipe word for word... Thanks

Damn... I thought i read that recipe somewhere. So what did i make?

Couple of days ago I pulled a gallon of fresh cider out of the fridge with the intent of making apfelwein. I warmed some up to rehydrate the yeast (Red Star Premier Cuvée) and add some nutrients and let it sit for about 15 minutes. While the yeast was sitting, I added 2 lbs of honey and shook...

I'm sorry. I don't think I explained the corks adequately. It is an actual cork that has a plastic top.

So, I just finished bottling my first mead. I went to my LBHS (MoreBeer) and picked up some 375ml bottles, some T-corks (the plastic topped corks you push in by hand), and some shrink toppers to make them presentable to friends and family. I am fairly certain that with wine, you should store it...

Okay I drove up to the local apple orchard and picked up some fresh pressed apple cider. It is cloudy, unpasteurized, and honestly quite tasty. But after making a couple different types of mead, I would like to do something with at least one of the two gallons of cider. They are already in...

I just started making mead and cyser and the only aspect I forgot about was cleaning after the fact. I could certainly use one. I plan on making atleast 2 bottles per month.

By the way, I say I am going overboard because I also have a 3 gallon carboy with fermenting JOAM, and another 1 gallon wine jug with fermenting spiced apple cyser.

From the first time I was introduced to mead by a friend of mine, I have been bugging him for more, and more, and more. finally he tells me how easy it is to make some. So I do some reading on the process, reading recipes, and reading threads wherever I can find them. Come time to make my...
