I did a one gallon batch from a cidermill that I just threw in a jug with an airlock and had the air lock bubbling away within 24 hours. I didn't take any gravity measures until it was done though and i went from 1.052 to .998. I think it just dends what is on your apple skins and could vary...

No you're not crazy, your consumption is just lacking:mug:. Drink yourself and rinse after you pour, no scrubbing involved

I like Founders beers, but I hate their bottles I've had them break while capping and uncapping, they are thinner around the crown. Costco sells 24 packs of SN bottles for $23.99 that come with free beer inside

Testing it early I think is part of the learning process, learning to decern the flavor and tell if it ready. Testing it early is part of what will eventually teach you that Revvy is right.

I've seen it at Costco, and believe it is very sweet I think it had an OG >1.08

I've reused beer bottles, but I also like reusing 500 ml brown plastic A&W rootbeer bottles, holds the carbonation just fine. That way you can take them places you wouldn't want glass.

thanks, I was planning to wait much longer based on my limited experience with cider last year, but was suprised to find out that I actually do like the way it tastes now and didn't want it to take a turn for the worse. Last year's batch with sugar added turned into something I realy liked by...

I got some fresh unpasteurized cider (OG 1.052) from a local cider mill 4 weeks ago and put a gallon of it in a sanitized Carlo Rossi jug with an air lock, it started to bubble pretty good within 2 days and seemed to stop bubbling after about 2 weeks, one week ago I racked off of the lees. I am...

I believe this is probably what you don't like, I would say you should stay a away from all wee heavies. Dirty Bastard is 50 IBU, which is higher than the style guidlines for a wee heavy, but who cares I love it.
