Okay, so I am headed to the LHBS tomorrow to pick this all up. But for some unbeknownst reason, my brain is not working today.... So forgive the dumb question. If I am planning on doing this as an extract recipe, I would still steep the 1lb of Vienna malt, right? Because I assume the other...

So just so I understand, in the new keg, I'd be effectively putting the cider in the normal "out line", and filling it that way, right?

Hey Yooper, silly question here... But first, my backstory... So I kegged a cider about two weeks ago that I sweetened up nicely and placed on co2 at 11psi. I tasted it the next day, and it was heavenly. Tasted just like apple pie filling. But then I tasted it yesterday, figuring it would be...

Okay. No, I didn't kill any yeast, as I figured being in the fridge, they would be dormant and I'd be fine. Ok. Ill try that. And it is campden tablets to kill theose little buggers, right?

I am wondering if any of you guys have any experience with kegging this masterpiece? I tried out the BRY-97 yeast this time, and could only get it to finish out at 1.008, so I decided to go ahead and keg it up, using 3 AJ concentrates, and I also made up a tea of cinnamon and nutmeg for the...

Hey hey - From one 745 to another, Welcome!! Homebrewing becomes an obsession very quickly, embrace it!! :cross: I recommend the 3-3-3 method for perfect low- to mid-gravity beer. It starts with leaving it in primary for 3 weeks, then throw into your bottles, leave in there for another 3...

Okay, so my quandry is that I would like to try this bad boy out in my keg. 1, because I am new to kegging and I want to put everything in there, and then 2, because my wife finds it much easier to pull the handle than find a bottle opener and pour to a glass :). My question is... Would 5...

I am so glad that you did a side-by-side comparison of these. I have used US-05 most often, but have tried BRY-97 as well. I never used the same styles at the same times, but you just coinfirmed my exact feelings. BRY takes forever to start, and it mutes all of the flavors... It kind of just...

So, the way I look at it is the whole "give a man a fish - he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish - he'll eat for a lifetime"... If you have the capacity to show him how to do it, and explain that he can watch one of YOUR brew days, so your brew day equals you keep the brew. Then, yeah -...

We just need a new episode!

I think Rick is thinking back to the kid that they decided to be humane and help in season 2 with the fence thru the leg. Then look at what trouble that brought to them. He is thinking that he (nor the group) can not deal with extra baggage that will slow them down with the Governor closing in...

Awesome!! That's what I was thinking. Just pitting the mind at ease while I RDWHAHB

Okay, so life has happened to me... and I have gotten way busy. Is there any issue with this cider if I leave it sit in the Primary fermenter for about 4 weeks before creating caramel mix and bottling? The past 2 times I have made this, I bottled after 2 weeks...

And dont forget the ever-so tricky Maury show on the DNA test days! When going into a break, they use audience reaction and guest reaction to trick you into thinking that it is one way or another, and a lot of the time, the acutal result is the opposite. "And the DNA test shows, you ARE the...

Awesome! Any estimate on how many? My thought process has me at about 4 nutmegs and 3 cinnamon sticks... would that be good or over kill?

Oh, it is not a kegerator (yet), it is just another minifridge sans freezer, though. I will be the DIYer that will make it my kegerator. Since I already have the stuff I need to make it... Just need to pick up 1 more shank and perlick, since this one will fit 2

I had this bright idea to add the flavor of Nutmeg and Cinnamon to my cider. Last batch, I just put the ground cinnamon powder into about 2 cups of boiling water for a few 5 minutes, then let it cool and added the cooled cinnamon water to the finsihed cider in the bottling bucket. But I found...

So this weekend, I decided to make a kegerator. I have had this mini-fridge since college, and really I didn't have any use for it, its just taking up space in my garage... It is a Magic Chef 4.4 cu ft, so I measured the inside dimentions and it will fit my keg and co2 tank perfectly, with a...
