I am thinking this mold on my child? If it is will someone send me a new mother?

Thanks, information that I was looking for!

Hey Everyone, just started my first Kombucha fermentation. I am just wondering how long it takes to see the formation of the child SCOBY. I am just wondering because the temp in my apartment fluctuates between like 75-80 during the day and between 65-70 during the night and am worried it may...

Hi Everyone, I have just moved to LA in the last few weeks. I originally lived in Southern New Jersey and had a place to make fresh cider for brewing. Now that I am in LA I am wondering if anyone know of a good brew store(Los Feliz area), also if anyone here does apple pressing or knows of a...

Quick question. When making cider, when the fermentation is slowing down usually after about a 2-3 weeks i rack into secondary. When it is in the secondary more sediment/yeast drops out of solution. Is it ok for the cider to sit on sediment for aging (4-12 months) or should the cider be...

I have been aging a cider for a few month now. I just started a new batch earlier today and bumped the airlock on the aging batch(I am using a three piece airlock). The piece of the airlock that goes up and down to release pressue is now sitting all the way down on the tube inside the airlock...

Johnny jump up is really good. Wait about 4-6 months before drinking. Will taste the best

Made this a few months ago. Awesome.

should have added that I used white labs sweet mead yeast and 2.5 Tlb yeast nutrient when I started.

A week ago I started a cyser. I used five gallons organic cider and about a gallon of wildflower honey. Sg was 1.110 when started. I just racked it to the secondary this morning, the gravity is 1.011. Before racking the airlock was bubbling about every 3-5 seconds. Now that it is in the...

Started a five gallon batch last week using organic cider and wildflower honey. Wondering if anyone had any opinions on when to move from primary to secondary? The SG was 1.11 Thanks

That is not what I am looking for. Just saw the turbo yeast at my LHBS and was curious. Sorry if this is not appropriate for this forum.

What is applejack?

Has anyone tried making a very high alcohol content cider with turbo yeast and a whole bunch of sugar? If so how long did it need to age for, and did you back sweeten, add other ingredients, so on and so forth? I realize this may be a stupid question but I am just curious. Thanks
