    Caramel Apple Hard Cider

    Yeah I did that with my second batch and reduced the ground cinn by half as well and still got floaters lol. But I have a gallon set off to the side with 3 sticks dry hopping. Been that way since end of February, so interesting to see how it comes out.

    1 Gallon Cider Experiments

    I had the same issue with mine. It now sits in the basement in the secondary with a cup of raisins added. Probably let the raisins soak for a month and rack again to bulk age for 4-6 months before bottling.

    first time wheat brewing

    I'm not a proficient AG brewer but I have been told to use rice hulls to improve the ability of the mashing of all wheat.

    I am EXCIDERD for cider

    Just make sure to give the yeasties some extra nutrients and energizer. They are a little over worked right now and could stress and create off flavors.

    wooden spoon infection

    I agree that you probably didn't finish fermenting, and the off taste is from the yeast and coco powder being resuspended. Coca has oils regardless of what kind and they take some time to break down usually at least 6-12 months. By when they do it imparts a flavor unlike no other.

    Mead fermentation taking too long?

    You can purchase ph test strips at Wally World or any restaurant supply house instead of waiting on your LHBS.

    Oaking

    Yeah I've had it before, it taste like purple passion that ever clear use to have out(or still does) but I figure why not play with it and see if the flavor can be improved.

    Oaking

    Would this be because its a cheap wine or the already present tannins in the juice?

    Infected Cider? Mucus like glob in secondary.

    I've got some stuff like that in my apple wine, it's been bottled now for 2 months and I just checked it today and seen the same but more stringy. Any ideas?

    Carbonation failure-- any way to save three weeks down the road?

    Just have one old 20oz soda bottle on hand when bottle carbing. This way you will know when it is time to pasteurize or cold crash your glass bottles.

    Lemon Juice

    Give it a good scrub and sanitize the skin, just like everything else. I even throw my yeast packages in my sanitizer before opening them. Can never be to careful.
