I would love to know how it turned out.

Here are two good examples of how I made mine. I used a food grinder instead of a scratter and got a real fine grind. Then I used a press very similar to the bottom video with multiple holes in the uprights so I can adjust the top bar height. Make sure it is strong. There are several videos of...

Smyrnaquince,the entire hydrometer is under cider.

All I did was watch some youtube videos, decide on a design, and make it. I used scavenged materials. (with the exception of the lag bolts) I would be more than happy to help you or anyone with a design. After tasting the fresh pressed cider, I will never drink apple juice again. now i see what...

O. I see. Well, I don't have a recipe for that, but I am sure there are several on this forum, and around the internet.

My recipe was, one bushel of mutsu (green apples) and one bushel of very sweet gold apples. I put them through a new (never used) in sink food grinder. I then pressed the apples on my home made press and ended up with about 6.5 gal of cider. I added a pound of honey to the 5 gal carboy, and...

Racked the cider today, and had no problems. The hydrometer just about sank to the bottom of they test tube so I do believe my fermentation is complete and the extra dry taste seconds that. The flavor I can only describe as a dry green jolly rancher wine. I cant wait for it to clear a bit so I...

Thank you bottle bomber for the reply. Everything went great! I have ~14gals of oatmeal stout bubbling like crazy in the basement.

I have a 50 gal mash-ton, but of course I will not be using all of it. (it is a upright cylinder) And as for the 15 gal finished quantity I only have the ability to boil 15 gals so I want to leave some room to reduce any boil over but will top off the fermenter to 15 gals with sterile water at...

We are looking to make 15 gal. of Oatmeal Stout. We have 33 lbs. of grain and want to end up with 11 gal of wort. How much water do I need to steep and sparge? :mug:

Thank you for the quick reply. Allergens are a problem because my wife is allergic to wheat AND dairy, sort of a double wammy. I homebrew my own beer but this will be the first homebrew that my wife can drink. I am really looking foreward to enjoying this with her and her mother. They are both...

After about a week my airlock bubbles have slowed to one bubble about every 5 minutes. I want to clarify this cider but have a few questions. When I siphon from one fermenter into the second do I need to add anything? I did not plan on adding any flavors or adjuncts with my first batch, but is...
