Thanks guys. I was thinking about it and it will probably cost me about 100 dollars to make a press(although it would be a fun project). For that price I could buy more than enough dirt cheap cider locally in the fall and make hard cider from that. Thanks.

I have a ton of apple but no way of juicing them. I am considering buying a cheap 50 dollar juicer, but from what everyone is saying a press or an expensive cold press juicer is needed to properly extract most of the juice. Any advice on this? Can I get away with a cheap juicer? Has anyone had...

Thanks so much for your help. Quick question: I didn't put the yeast in warm waster to activate I just dumped it in because it said it was active dry yeast. I should still be okay here right? Also someone told me raisins would help... Would it be beneficial to add raisins? Thanks.

Okay thanks. Just finished up and am using loose lids. When it was completely closed, I unturned about a quarter turn. Should that be okay? thanks.

Also I think I will start a batch before I hit up the homebrew store. Does it have to be ziplock? Can i use just a regular freezer/ foodstorage bag? like this: http://99centsdollaritemwholesale.com/images/gi27051_food_bag_food-storage_bags_with_twist_ties_gallon.JPG edit: also would it hurt to...

Thanks^^ Just checked out the store online: http://www.howdoyoubrew.com/brewstore/index.php?cPath=49_23_75 They are new and doesn't look like they have much... I hope their instore selection is better...

So couldn't I just use an old one gallon wine bottle? Also do I need anything for siphoning? THanks.

already bought some champagne yeast. So I should be okay there. Maybe I will just buy like two glass bottles for it at the brew shop. What should i look for? about one gallon glass jar/jug (what would it be called)?

I will probably take a trip up there in a couple of days. What exactly do I need to make one batch of just ghetto hard cider? thanks.

Thanks so much for your help guys. Found a local brew shop: http://howdoyoubrew.com/index.php I will probably take a trip up there in a couple of days. What exactly do I need to make one batch of just ghetto hard cider? I plan on using the actual jug I bought it in for my primary because it will...

What is the point of secondary fermentation? Why couldn't I just use a balloon for primary and for secondary? Thanks.

1.Okay I am thinking I might invest in some cheap equipment. How many glass bottles will I need for one brew?Can I just use an old wine bottle? 2.How many stoppers or airlocks? What does a stopper do? 3.If I will be making an order of several brewing items like this is there a store...

I did notice that, but not much I can do about it. I don't have a brew store near me and 2 day free shipping is nice. Plus I can't really see it being cheaper anywhere else online. If you know of a place please let me know.

To be honest I dont even have a glass one gallon jug yet. I was just told I need a stopper. I just wanted to start making some ghetto wine/hooch in an apple juice container bought from the store. I plan on fermenting right into it so I do not have to deal with sanitizing another bottle. So I...

Eh sorry I linked the wrong ones :( http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000E60G2W/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000E62PXA/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

So are you saying I should use the air lock I chose from amazon for primary fermentation, but when I switch it to another bottle put the s type on it? Thanks. p.s. Sorry for the stupid questions. Really just want to make sure I have the right setup.

I have bought yeast preservitive free apple juice and sugar. I am trying to decide on an air lock and stopper. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000E60G2W/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000E62PXA/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Do they look okay? Do I need anything else...

Is there a place to buy cheap champagne yeast? Either a place that sell a couple packets cheap with low shipping or a place to buy it in bulk? Thanks!

Ok sorry. I dont know how to move to another section. Which one of these yeasts (on label peelers) would be best for welches? This was the cheapest place I could find: http://labelpeelers.com/wine-yeast-red-star-c-158_272_274.html

Maybe I like hobo wine or maybe I am trying something new just to get my feet wet before I spend some cash. Maybe I am not trying to get "drink". Your response did not answer many of my questions and was for the most part a waste. Think before you judge my friend ;) So if anyone else on this...
