So I recently purchased 2 corny kegs, they are decommissioned kegs from Canada, (one held 7-up the other club soda). They are a little different than my other corny in that the pressure relief valves on top flip up to release pressure instead of pulling up on a ring. Anyway, these have been...

I voted EC-1118, but that is because that is all I have used for apfelwein, and have had great results; I have a third generation on tap now, (I just re-use the yeast cake).

You could buy another gallon, take a reading and use the juice in your next batch, (start one within 2 weeks).

So far I've used Walmart (cheapest), Safeway Apple Juice and Cider, and Tree Top. The Tree Top has gotten the best reviews out of all of them. For yeast I use Lalvin EC-1118 Champagne yeast because that's what the LBS carries.

Thanks for posting the link. I attend this University and hadn't yet seen this. I am looking forward to growing some Fuggles or Kent Goldings next spring. :)

8878+5=8883!

Family guy sucks balls. I guess you'll make some beer. ok.

add another 15 gallons.

interesting recipe, but I don't think this is a wine... perhaps you posted in the wrong forum?

I tell you, after a day of midterms and lab reports this really made me happy, I hope you guys all find some good beer out of the blue! :mug:

So I was sitting around reading some threads about freezer sizes and kegs, wishing my keg was full, or that I had some beer. I thought I would check the freezer to see if it was the same size as the picture and what do I find? A six pack of Paulaner Salvator I had forgotten about! :rockin:

mmm, I love Colorado fresh peaches... I'd say rack your liquid away from the funk asap, and the let it age a month or two.

After three weeks this tastes good, with a malty profile and 5.5% abv. I will be making this recipe again and recommend it. edit: looking back I don't think I let this beer age enough before it was gone, and can't make a great recommendation based upon the lack of data.

good show gov!

I took this recipe from my local home brew shop, (minus 1 oz hops). The grains are steeped for an hour as the liquor gets up to 170F.This is my first batch of this, it tastes good!
