Hi all, my Cider has been finished for awhile but do to computer issues havent been able to log on. The end Gravity was 1.010 when bottled it has a very strong alcohol taste at first with a mild apple finish. I actually like it and think is goes down nice possibly next time I will cut it down...

I get 14 litter Food Grade buckets from my local wegmans bakery. They are a little small but their free and and work good for my small experimental batches. :rockin:

Hi all! I am a new brewer I have made a couple of Bocks so far and have some cider I made from my own apple trees aging in the basement now. What I was thinking about is Could I take something like juicey juice that is all juice no preservatives and ferment it to alcohol? I was think along the...
