What does your water profile look like on this? I usually start everything with RO and build from there.

My ciders with Notty all take about 6 weeks at 65 deg. It's worth the wait.

Looks like frodus17 got us up to 612.5. Add my half gallon experiment to get us back even at 613.

I haven't tried the three you mentioned, but I frequently use the Tree Top 3-apple blend. I use 3 gallons of that with a gallon of the darker Tree Top Cider, and I top it off with a gallon of whatever store brand is the cheapest (or name brand if it's on sale). I always use rehydrated Nottingham...

Or more cider. ;)

So 488 + 11=499 + my 10 gal of spiced holiday cider= 509

Also, occasionally I forget to write down the OG in my notes. When I check FG and realize I forgot to write down the OG, sometimes I lie to myself and make one up.

My wife bought me a nice refractometer for my birthday last year. I still haven't used it and don't plan to.

Brewed a batch Friday night, added the raspberries yesterday, and moved it to the basement today. 7 weeks away from heaven.

164+1.5 gal of hopped cider = 165.5

Dom-- I think it was maybe lacto, but with being my first, I can only speak for what I have seen in other posts. Of course, I didn't get a pic before I dumped it. Flars-- I think it was even too tart for a cooking addition (I do like to use my homebrew in beer batter). Calder-- It was in...

After 40-or-so beers and ciders, today I dumped my first infected batch. I did a nice AG milk stout and a couple porters just after Christmas. Life got busy, and I just never found time to bottle the stout (the two porters turned out great). Today was finally set aside to bottle. I started...

My chickens love it.

I weeded around my 4 hops plants and found my Magnum and Willamette have already sprouted.

+6 gal = 112

I haven't yet had a problem by backsweetening with 1 can of apple juice concentrate per gallon of cider. I bottle it directly after adding the concentrate, and at the same time, fill a 16-oz soda bottle (plastic). When the plastic bottle is firm like an unopened soda, I check one of the glass...
