How does one do that while the cider is in bottles? And Lets say I wanted to keg it, would I just let it sit in the keg for a month? So over all close to 7 weeks for it to be completed?

So, UpstateMike, it looks like by reading your recipe it only took you 15 days to make this hard cider? I've never made cider before but would love to try it. I'm so use to waiting 6 weeks for beer to be ready that 2 weeks for a hard cider just seems strange to me lol.

He does great work, I'm sure you'll be very happy with it! Please remember to share it with us!

I'm bottling a Maple Coffee Bacon Porter tomorrow. I added a pound of dried up crispy bacon to the secondary. I used some smoke grains in the grain bill too to kinda help it along. I'll update you guys about it tomorrow when I try it.

Thank you everyone for your help! I think what I'll do is tone down the honey to .25lbs and pitch 2 yeast packets like a couple of you have suggested. Then I'll cold crash it and keg it. If all else fails, I get a extract kit from my LHBS. Thanks again! Rob

$150, $75 up front, $75 once you're pleased with his work. Took about 3 weeks to do but he sent updates once a week. He does a great job of making sure you're getting what you want.

Thanks for the quick replies! Bernie: I agree completely, had I known a couple months ahead of time I could've made a better beer. So Cat; you think maybe a hefe would be better? 5lbs pils 4lbs wheat 1lb honey malt? 1oz Tett.@60 2 weeks in primary, cold crash it a day or 2 before I keg it...

Oh really? That's cool, I can see the yard from my house! Those people make A LOT of ca$h. Me and my brewing partner went with Trident because Bangor houses the Trident submarines in Silverdale. That ship in the logo is the U.S.S. Bremerton.

Need to come up with a beer in 4 weeks for a buddy's birthday. He just brought it up and I said I could do it in 4 weeks...So how about a cream ale? Maybe add some rice to give it a crispness to it? All grain: 8lbs U.S. 2-row 1lbs Honey malt 1.5 lbs flaked rice Hops: 1oz Liberty@60...

Josh at brewbrandcreative.com did this for me.

This was done by Josh from brewbrandcreative.com. Wonderful work!

Yeah I don't want to ABV to be too high. I want something flavorful and something you can drink a couple of without getting too tipsy ;). Thats why I thought using 5oz at bottling would be a good idea. Get some sweet honey flavor but not overwhelmingly so.

How much rice and when should I add it? Never used rice before and this is only my second all grain lol.
