Hahahaha Take a look at this. Maybe that's why my yeast is dead.

How important is this temperature? What if it's 74 degrees.....? >.<

I added more yeast because I thought mine might have died, and that's why it wasn't bubbling any more. Also I didn't think adding more yeast would hurt, if anything it would just sit in the bottom. And no, I never took any gravity readings, I don't usually find any need for them— but now I...

HELP! Last Sunday, Aug 19, I made a 3 gallon batch of this. However I didn't follow the instructions exactly. For example; I used 1lb of amber DME, and 0.5lb of light DME. (which is a lot of DME for 3 gallons I believe) Also I used a champagne yeast instead of Nottingham. It was going well...

What are my chances :D ?

Are you saying that not every gallon of juice you buy from one particular brand will taste exactly the same? Is that really true? I thought that commercial/pasteurized juices are the most consistent?

Yes I did find the stickies very helpful. It helped me a lot with understanding how yeasts can effect the taste of cider. But not so much particular sugars, or juices.

I completely understand how your own pressed cider would be more tastey and even enjoyable to make and claim as your own. But for the purpose of my project I'm trying to make a cookbook on how you can still make decent good cider out of commercially sold apple juices. And I'm just trying...
