If this is still available, I would greatly appreciate a code.

I am really interested in this last question. I am a bit confused on how the shell is attached to the lid. It looks like Regular Dude's Garage build a lip on the front however I don't see how you can create a seal with that lip under the lid.

Now that is a sweet give away. I have entered!

Pretty cool, USA!

I thought about that but the guidelines say a haze is inappropriate. It doesn't drink like a 13% cider, so I was thinking of an English category that allows for a bit of haze.

Happy brewing, everyone. I made my first cider and I want to enter into competition. It comes in at around 13% alcohol, is dry with a bit of tart, and is a bit cloudy with a pale color like straw/hay. Any suggestions as to which category I should enter?

Thanks. I appreciate the suggestion!!!

Hello all. It's been awhile since I have posted here. Awhile back a nice member on this forum gifted me a scoby to get started. That was roughly a year or two ago. Since then that scoby has produced countless gallons of bucha but alas it has finally gotten an infection and I never saved any...

That's not bad. Owl look into whole foods or fresh market Sent from my Nexus 4 using Home Brew mobile app

I haven't brewed bucha in awhile but I getting back into it soon. Previously I was using plain black tea but I am interested in trying others. I am looking to by my tea in bulk. How many others do the same? What is your favorite base tea and brand?

Yup, looks perfectly healthy to me. Once the yeast do their job, the bacteria will do theirs.

That my friend sounds like a colony of yeast. Im guessing they are kind of tan to brown in color?

I eventually want to make it to continuous brew but right now I will stick my quart jars on top of the fridge.

That is pretty impressive. I hope it goes well for you. I should be getting a scoby in the mail soon and I am also attempting to grow my own. Good luck!!
