Look what i did!!

First meads!!
JAOM and a grape mead next to it.
The other ones are just cider.
And yes I just opened the jug, poked a hole in the top, and poured the last bit of my yeast starter in the small one.
Just to see how it turns out.

Phew! Only meads......

With a thread title like that, I thought you were gonna announce that you'd dropped a log, shaped like the head of Jesus, then dried and laquered it, only too sell it on eBay for a zillion dollars........

Sorry for the let down. I guess I'll tone it down a bit on the next post.

Out of curiosity...what size stoppers are those?

#6 stoppers generally fit well in one gallon jugs

You should let us know how that jug of store bought cider turns out. That's kind of hilarious, and brilliant.

Will do, and they are #6 stoppers.

Reporting back one the ciders I made.. The one in the gallon jug was perfect. Went from 1.065 to 1.012 in six days. I cold crashed for 48 hours, then racked off the lees into another jug and poured straight into a glass. Had a little taste of apple, a little dry and it had a small tart snap at the end that made u have to drink more. I have a five gallon batch going right now. The half gallon jug of store bought stuff was just way to dry go me. It really had no good flavor at all.

That's unfortunate about the store bought stuff. That seemed like an interesting project. Im thinking of doing a cider myself in the near future.

You sound like me when I first got started. Actually, you just sound like me...
