I have re-racked mine a few times but having tried it yet. Saving for fall also.

MarkKF, I bottled straight from Carboy so if I did this I would need something else to put it in first correct? And would the brown sugar alter the taste? I was trying to keep it as controlled as possible so the only difference was the yeast. And how well does the brown sugar get mixed up in...

Yeah, 25 gallons, I was thirsty lol. No, I had three batches under my belt so I wanted to experiment with different yeasts to determine how they changed the flavor using everything else as a control with only the yeasts being different. But what can I say, I like cider, lol. Yep they...

So I'm fairly new to making cider, I have three five gallon batches under my belt and so far they have turned out great. My process is after they are done fermenting I move them to my keg and carbonate. After reading reviews about various yeasts and tastes I decided to try my own control...

So I'm going to start a pumpkin cider tonight with hopes that it will be finished by Thanksgiving. I'm going to follow the recipe on here but change it up a bit since I'm makes 5g batch. I'm thinking one can of pumpkin for two gallons juice and then adding some more when I rack to secondary...

I was looking for used 5lb tank on CL and found a guy that refills tanks out of his house/garage. Does this sound safe? I'm new to kegging and just got my new 5lb tank and his price is best around and I get to keep my tank. He said his safe and he does it all the time. Any thoughts? I'm in...

Thanks for replies. I'm mainly going to be doing ciders so I'm going to use the 5g Carboys for second fermentation.

Thanks Bigeavk, but I got one on CL last week and picking up two more tonight so I think three will do me for now or I would get a few from you. Thanks for replying

If it doesn't go through please let me know.

Are the 5 gallon Carboys glass or plastic? Would you ship those and pin lock keg to Virginia?

Hello everyone, I have recently crossed over to home brewing and I have a few supples already but I'm in need if a few essentials and hopping someone here can spare some. I'm looking for 2-3 glass Carboys 5 gallon and few pin lock corny kegs. I'm in the northern Virginia area and willing to...
