Daze, how much Apple juice concentrate would you recommend? Let's say I'm shooting for a hornsbys hard Apple cider taste...

Thanks for the info. I plan to back sweeten with apple juice concentrate (make it sweet for my gf)

When would you recommend to transfer to bottle or keg? Once sg hits 1.000?

I just took a sg reading from ed worts apfelwein recipe...1.000!! OG was 1.071 >:o <-----oh face Which is right at 9%!! It smells kind of like egg farts... Gonna let it sit for a another month and then keg for another month or so.... First time making a cider and its awesome! Can't wait...

True. I am in hop mecca of the world... And I have bought 50 hop crowns (cascade, nugget, chinook,willamette, CTZ) from them and am planning on raising them to sell locally... I just saw there post on Facebook and couldnt resist!

Yeah... Freshhops is a nice place. But I believe all they have are rhizomes... Whereas glh has hop crowns

Have you seen how big the hop plant is?

I did find a smokin deal from my LHBS today! I'm thinking about going for the 33oz... I kind of like the blue ones.. but am concerned about any adverse effects... Perhaps ill just stick with the amber brown??

Willing to go to great lakes hops... Buy their $10 crowns and ship them to me?! I'll pay for it'll all and gas money or whatever you'd like (rhizomes)??

Awesome thanks for the input! What size bottle did you go with? Do you soak your bottles with star san? One step??

I was thinking about ordering some 16oz and 33oz bottles...reasons being... I like how you can reuse each bottle cap (i don't particularly care for capping bottles), I dont mind paying extra $$$ to get nice bottles.... Anyone have any experience with grolsch type bottles? Do I need to get amber...

Graci... Gorlame... Arrivederci.

Indeed! Hey got a quick question for ya onehoppyguy.... Is the purpose of transfering to secondary to sort of cut down on sediments (i call it yeast sh**) and to dry hop? I've never transfered to secondary.. always dry hopped in primary and then bottled or kegged.

I've had unfiltered beer before with no adverse effects. I do think its possible the brew I tried was contaminated.... All I know is that I went to a dermatologist and he asked me a series of questions... What do I eat... What detergent do I use... What have I changed recently in my lifestyle...

I've actually filtered 3 batches of beer and all have tasted fine... Don't commercial brewer's filter? I'd think they would.....

Well not sure... I'm actually kind of afraid to try homebrew without it being filtered. I could of had a bad one... I can tell you the end result was a rash that was all over my body....

Do any of you guys filter your brew before kegging? I'm planning on filtering my with 5 and 1 micron filters to make sure I get all yeast out (had a bad skin reaction to homebrew a few years ago)

Put me down for the centennial!! How much would like for them? I'm a beginner at hop growing (did plant some cascade and nugget this fall) and am eager to get more!
