Sounds good to me I like it, thanks for all the help Daze, this site is the best I have come by for knowledge on home brewing. :rockin:

Daze, I like your idea on either bringing the cider to 140 or bottle pasterizing better then the chemical idea. I am def convinced not to go the chemical route.

You have a link that explains the bottle Pasteurize process? Thanks

Awesome thanks for all the advice, Im ordering a hydrometer today so i can test it out.

I will get a picture for you all tonight for sure, and for the first response, we used a champagne yeast. I don't have a hydrometer, but i will look to pick one up. And ya im just nervous that its slowed down to much after only being in the barrel for a month. My brothers friend is doing the...

I have an ambitious project, 45 gallon JD barrel and filled with cider from the local orchard. Friends with the orchard so we only had to buy the barrel. We added sugar, honey, raspberry's and yeast. For the first month i had to make my own airlock since the smaller lock i had kept getting all...
