Just about to keg this.... Paps...did you add Kenya and k sorbate. I've added three cans of concentrate. Think I'm close to 18% range

Adding a little cinnamon and cardamom to some vodka and letting it infuse is a great way to get flavours into a cider. I leave a few days to a week then just drain and strain off the liquid. Better than extract!

I added about 3tsp of acid complex and maybe 1/2 tsp tannin per 5 gallons. Made a huge difference. Going to check it again in a few days when I feel that it's a good integration and take another sample. I've added too much previously so I'm taking it slow! Using juice not from concentrate and...

Just did this. Amazing the difference and for so little added!

bahahah. That's awesome!

So it's been almost a month since I bottled this. Was ok at bottling time. A little sharp and harsh. Drinkable but only would have one. I cannot believe the taste difference over the month. Now it's so very enjoyable and we had two tonight and shared a third with a guest who also loved it...

Will be buying a tank soon. How often do you need to fill a 5 or 10 or 20lb tank? Will be using a 5G keg. Thanks!

So I'm needing to order online as there are no suppliers in my area and this is my first keg set up. Looks like I'm getting a torpedo keg and a blichmann beer gun. Using my keg to carbonate and bottle cider for now and possibly do the kegerator thing in the future :) Keeping it simple for now...

Looking at a torpedo keg as it is a touch shorter than other (primary reason) as my fridge is only 23" tall (MAX). Excited!

Torpedos are 22.75. Just looking at one now. Haven't found any under that here in canada

I can't tolerate sulfites well. Can I pasteurize force carb'd bottles? Dobt see why not and I understand it is more work but if I can't do sulfites is that my only options if I'm adding fermentatable sugar?

sounds lovely

So is that 33G or 6G to the total? I'll add 6G to the total for you Plus my new 18G + your 6=1168.25

Yes. Was just taking it out of the water and it toppled. It had only been out of my hand for a second or so. Followed the instructions at the beginning of his thread 190 then 10 mins at which the temp was close to 160-165. It sucked but I was lucky/prepared. Why it went. Not sure but...

If you'd like to select for wild yeast, I found the ones that didn't have yeast nutrient lagged behind and ended up spoiling it being too gross to drink. They were the only two one gallon ciders I tossed. I think you need nutrient and possibility a little warmer to get them started. (If you...

Any Canadian suppliers?

WOW!!! Amazing. Thank you everyone!!!!

Thanks. This is what I do now and I'd prefer to get the flavour right and bottle. Finding the rolling the dice with bottle carbing (flavour wise) is where I'm frustrated. I never seem to get the flacour I desire or the carbonation is inconsistant. Then theres the bottle bombs. Had one fall...

Fair

Been reading up. Think that a keg is in my immediate future. Anything I should be aware of as I will need to order one online as there are no dealers in my area. Would like a new one 5 gallon doesn't have to be pretty - will not be using it for on tap - just for force carbing. Thank you!!!
