So has anyone done this successfully in a cooler? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Bottled yesterday. I think the first few bottles go more concentrate than the rest. Might have to pasteurize them tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I'm interested in that coffee cider recipe. Sounds odd and interesting. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Should I chill a bottle down before testing carbonation (put it in the freezer for 30-45 min)? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I have a cider that's been in primary for around a month. It's done fermenting but the krausen hasn't fallen. I used us-05, has anyone else experienced this? Can I just scoop it off with a sanitized spoon? Rack from underneath it? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I don't plan to wait ten days, just wanted to make sure I had adequate time. Thanks for all the responses. I appreciate them. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I'm only planning on using 2-3 cans of concentrate, and the syrup. But I assume that 3-4 days still stands Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

So how long does this take to carb in the bottles on average. I'm going out of town in about ten days and plan to bottle tomorrow. I'd like to pasteurize before I leave and have them fully carbed. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Do you mean it didn't carb at all? Or not as much as you would have liked? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I bout five gallons of "100% apple juice from concentrate." The ingredients listed are apple juice concentrate, water, and ascorbic acid. Nowhere does it state that it has no preservatives, but since nothing is listed in the ingredients I assume I am good to go right? Sent from my iPhone using...

I assume I may have risked oxidizing it and so forth since i stirred it up. But given the amount of sweetness left, it really just tastes like fizzy apple juice. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I tasted my cider today. It's been two weeks in the primary and oddly enough it is very sweet still and slightly fizzy. Obviously there has been some fermentation because activity was crazy for the first four or five days and there is a slight kick to it. I stored it all up with my sanitized...

I was wondering if I could do this with a bit of fireball whiskey. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I have had my cider in the primary bucket for about two weeks. I used us-05 an Fermentation seems to be finished (no more bubbles). Yet, when I open the bucket it has what appears to be a foamy krausen still on top. I was wondering if anyone has experienced this with US-05 and should I wait for...
