I do believe you could use campden tablets prior to bottling to control the yeast.

I would bottle it and just be careful not to get the "cheeries and gunk" into the bottles.

Visit bars. Ask them to save bottles for you. If your state recycles, you can stop by beer stores and ask very nice for the empties. You could also find a recycling drop off center that has an open back door and go through the bottles there. Good luck

Welp its almost time and the local orchard is going to be selling fresh pressed cider soon... I'm so excited :) If anyone lives near central/east Ohio you should check them out http://www.lyndfruitfarm.com/apple.htm If you request, I think they can sell unpasturized also, try out the...

I think that getting some good juice (I bet Cider from a local orchard or if you have to, organic from the grocery store would work best) and using ec-1118 should produce good cider. If you check out the ratings of the yeast by Appleyard, 1118 rates about as well as the code named "George"...

I think your email address is right, but I dont know why you didnt get it. Oh well. Yeah... the site builder isnt that great... you could always use a thirdparty html editor and upload it. You can refer to the site by your username and not your VZUID. (eg...

robmee: Unfortunately space kinda is a concern living in my lil one bedroom apartment. I sent you an email. You have webspace available through verizon online at mywebspace.verizon.net. The login is the same as your email and ppp login. You can use it to host pictures and link to them from...

So you dont have to worry about hooking up any CO2 tanks or hand pumps to get the pressure needed to dispense?

A good yeast selection article by Greg Appleyard: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/scrumpy/cider/ciderca2.htm I think the "george" yeast is George Hornsbys and EC1118 scored close to it. Ive also heard cotes des blancs is good (never tried it)

umm... no, wait, disregard the last one... dont think you can use one thats meant for a space shuttle. :)

Just have your nephew measure the inside.

tempted-fate, hard cider is pretty much just apple juice/cider fermented. You can get yeast at a local home brew store or many places on the web. The yeast package is meant for 5 gallons, as why most recipies call for 5 gallons. You could just separate the yeast into fifths however. Yeast...

I used a flat head screw driver to push it out from the back of the plate (the side where the handle is)

You dont say what brand or type it is, so it would be hard to answer your question. :)

Thanks for the info

Here is the difference between the bottles.

I played around with the capper and some other bottles and you are right lost, the capper seems to hold better to the other bottles.

Does anybody have any experience with recapping Heineken bottles with a wing style capper? It doesnt seem that they are sealing that well.
