I would like to do a recipe like this one as well :) how did this turn out?

How did this turn out? I've been contemplating adding slices of fresh honeycrisp apples to my secondary but I wasn't quite sure whether or not it was a good idea. I'm not too concerned about it clearing personally so long as it tastes good. I've got a 3 gallon batch that's ready to transfer into...

Unfortunately only problem with it fermenting faster than I expected was my 2nd carboy to rack it into hasn't been ordered yet 😕 I've gotta wait till Thursday to order it. I thought it'd take 4 weeks but it took around 2. No more than 2 1/2. I would've ordered it this past Thursday but I...

I did end up using nutrients. I didn't start till the second day though. Looks like I primed the yeast right though. I'm having to shake it each morning and night to keep the yeast suspended. It was done way faster than I was expecting it to be and it's produced around a 1/3rd of an inch of...

My yeast has officially started forming a yeast cake in the primary. Technically a few days to a week ago. What is the best way to degas it? I'd rather not unintentionally aerate it and when I tested it 2 days ago it came out about 13.97% alcohol. I gave some of the leftover in the test tube a...

Let me know how it turns out, that flavor sounds pretty good :)

Well, according to my hydrometer the juice and honey mixture came out about 1.111 So on the brightside, it should come out somewhere between dry and medium sweet. I'm fine with that :) if the yeast were able to hold up it'd (supposedly) reach around 15%-16% I used 5lbs of clover honey with 2...

Thank you for this. This definitely answered my question. Last thing I want in this is tap water that tastes mildly chlorinated. Be my luck that it'd f*** with the fermentation process

Oh I already told them they wouldn't be able to drink it for awhile. In general from what I was reading this particular yeast can ferment in about 4-6 weeks. I did let them know that it might not be ready before then. I was gonna make absolutely sure that it's done fermenting before I bottle any...

Hello, I have just a couple quick questions regarding my first batch :) I'm getting ready to prep and I'm not sure if I can just go ahead and just use some of the spring water I bought for rehydrating the dry yeast I bought (71b-1122) I intended to make a cyser for a first 3 gallon batch with...
