Alright! That cyanne cyser sounds great. I just brewed three months ago a cyser. 15 lbs of honey five gal h2o and with cinnamon and then in the secondary two gallons of apple cyser and some apples and pears.

Can anyone describe to me in basic terms what is going on in the beer. I know the yeast converts the sugar into carbon dioxide and alcohol but can anyone give me the chemical formula--or point me in the direction of some good chemistry 101 savvy information? Much appreciated! Many thanks!

I had an idea to do a pepper mead. Kinda want to try with habaneros. I'm not going to do this till next year. Just wanted some of your thoughts on the subject. Anyone tried it? Can anyone point me in the direction of good information? Thanks!

Good to know. Thanks revvy and everyone else! Each brew brings forth new challenges; trying to learn something new each day.

wasn't sure I was mistaking that for hop residue. I never saw the airlock fart but maybe that's cuz I stopped lookig at it...ill take a grav reading and taste it. It might've started anearobicaly fermenting ? I'm guessing tho. This is only my third brew. Thanks for the help guys! I think I'll...

I tried brewing an IPA a while ago and as far as I know the first few days the ferment never took. I left it in the bucket too irritated to even look at it. Its been in the bucket since the fifth of November. Today I went to pour it out and it doesn't look contaminated. Not sure if it's good to...

I have a cyser that i made and I'm about to add some pears to it. I was wondering about putting oak chips to it and what anyones results with oak chips (what kind of oak too) might have been with any mead variant or cyser. This is my third brew of anything alcoholic. my recipe 15 lbs of honey 5...

Thanks for the advice. I just threw it into the mead w/o any campden tabs. I got the first gallon to come out--so it is THE freshest possible. I poured it in using a funnel and within an hour there was a mass of bubbles starting to form. I was wondering. I read that if you add fruit to the...

I'm getting freshly made cider tomorrow to put into my mead which has been fermenting strongly for the past couple of weeks. I just added three yellow delicious apples to my mead--which is 15lbs of honey, water, lalvin yeast. I was worried that if I added unpasteurized, preservative free...

three "yellow delicious" apples****

Just wondering what the details on using pasteurized cider versus unpasteurized cider in my mead. I just added about three delicious apples. The mead we made with 15lbs of honey, water and Lalvin yeast--pretty basic. I want to add about a gallon of cider to fill the space in the carboy. I'm...
