It is the first time I made this one. The Airlock activity was extremely weak and did not last. The seal is good, I am going to re pitch then. Thanks guys.

I made 10 gal and bottled, now six months + later it is kinda flat meaning almost no carbonation. How do I save it?

I have brewed about 8 batches and every time had crazy airlock activity for +- 3 days but on my last batch the airlock activity was weak for one day and then nothing. It is an Amber Ale. Here is the recipe : http://www.brewapp.com/recipefiles/BREWER%27S%20RED%20-%205%20GAL.pdf It is at...

OK then, I am going to put it in the backroom and forget it for the next 3 months. Sucks because my first brew was a larger so that took forever. To get the pipeline going I thought this Belgian Ale would be nice only to learn it is now 3 to 6 months out. I am now on my 4th beer batch brewed and...

OK I gave it time but I am still not over the moon with it. It definitely kicks your ass after 2 bottles so the abv is there but the taste is not. If anyone wants a sample I will ship a few bottles for 'expert feedback' just pm me your address. This is the recipe...

Ok made my first two 5 GAL batches and I am as excited as a kid in an apfelwein store. I stuck 100% to the original recipe with zero deviation (other than the apple juice brand). My OG was just under 1.060, sound right? I used the Organic Apple Juice from BJ's.

Original Recipe 10 gallons. (my first batch) +10 = 22882.0

OK I ordered two 6 gal better bottles and got 10 gal of 100% organic apple juice from BJ's and decided to stick with the Montrachet Wine Yeast and follow Edwort's recipe 110%. Thanks again guys!

Code is still working :ban:

Like the White Labs WLP775 English Cider Yeast? http://www.whitelabs.com/beer/strains_wlp775.html

Thanks for the help. I will check out Edwort's apfelwine with a cider yeast. This one? https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f81/edworts-apfelwein-33986/ Also I see it comes in at 8.5% abv. Do I reduce the sugar to get it closer to 6% abv, say half the sugar? Cheers!

In a never ending attempt to keep SWMBO happy I promised to make her a apple cider drink as close as I could to a product she loves from the old country, South Africa. So se loves a Savanna. http://www.savanna.co.za/about All that I know is that it is a dry 100% apple cider of 6% abv. I have...
