Ah, some great advise from a neighbor. I was not aware that option existed. Thanks.

Stupidly I just posted into the never ending word thread without think of this. I absolutely regret it. :(

I'll be heading to Phoenix (Mesa actually, to see the Black Keys) and was wondering if these are still the places to go. Any others to add? Papago. Sonora. Four Peaks. Sleepy Dog. Thanks.

Drink it. The WF 365 will never clear.

Dang! I just bought one somewhere else!

How did this turn out?

Wow! 72 hours. So you could be bottling/kegging within 7 days of pitch?

Yet another plus for session beer. But, three days? That seems really fast! Guess everything might be just fine. I'll wait till it stops completely and take a gravity reading. If it is bad news I'll throw in a new pack yeast. Thanks again.

Never brewed anything with this low of a potential alcohol content - just 3.5%. Does the fermentation finish out much faster than something with a higher AVB. It has only been about 3 days and it is really slowing down. I am using Nottingham. My pitch temp was probably too high but that is...

It will depend on what you use to sweeten and how sweet you like it. You will need to do a test to fit to your taste.

I did it at bottling time in just one champagne bottle to see if I'd like to do it again. I put about 5 pellets of Amarillo in and then waited about a week or two. It could have accepted more pretty easily. If I was going to do it on a larger scale I would next go 1/2 oz for 2.5 gallons in...

It is pretty much as easy as they say. However, a very important element that you did not mention is time. I think it takes about three to four weeks before fermented apple juice really starts to taste respectable. I was so excited during my first few batches that I drank them way too early...

Hello Fellow Ciderheads, I recently cracked open a bottle of basic cider that I had dry hopped just a bit at bottling time. It was a bit of a surprise - I kinda liked it. It had a bit of a nose and my burps were nice and hoppy. Anyone else had any experience with dry hopping their hard cider...
