Hey, thanks for the help. I think I'll probably just get the smaller one just to be safe, and if I need another one later on, I'll get one. Oh well, just take it as it comes...

I stand corrected... kind of

Does anyone know if the normal sized (as opposed to the Mini) Fermtech autosiphon will fit in a gallon sized container, i.e. a milk jug? I have a batch of hard apple cider fermenting now in 2 1-gallon milk jugs and I plan on making bigger batches in the future with bigger containers (such as...

Thanks Revvy - I saw that on a site, but I just started on the home-brewing adventure and I don't plan on using milk jugs forever - I'm planning on making bigger batches with bigger containers later on. I just wanted to know if the normal autosiphon would work for both bigger containers (such...

I thought this looked like a pretty neat idea - doesn't seem like it would be too hard to make... probably fairly cheap too... YouTube - How to make Cider at home the easy way: Part 1

One more easy question - do the yeast need light or not? I'm pretty sure they don't but again I just want to make sure. Thanks!

Hey thanks a lot Arneba! I'll do just that.

Hey guys, I just made 2 gallons (yeah, yeah, I know...) of a variation of Ed Wort's Apfelwein (I used granular cane sugar instead of corn sugar (dextrose) so I think it's considered a hard cider). I used half of a packet of Lalvin K1-V1116 yeast for each gallon and placed a balloon on top of...
