    Tell me about using plastic bottles to gauge carbonation

    I think they fill a Soda Bottle, and then wait until it gets about as firm as an unopened soda. Thus there will be about the same pressure in your now carbonated cider as the soda. Then you would pasteurize, kill off the yeast and enjoy your cider. (don't use a water bottle, they are too weak.)...

    First Cider

    Thanks for the reply dinnerstick, i appreciate it. And yah i didnt know what else to call it besides that. I do think you had the correct term with mulled though. I was really surprised that it fermented at all as well! So does anyone have an opinion on the mold issue? I was planing on...

    First Cider

    Well it turned out to be mold. I took the most powerful flashlight i have and checked out the inside of my keg and lurking in the bottom was this monster of destruction! :mad: Its just a tad smaller than the size of a ping pong ball. I also sucked up a few smaller chunks that were in there. I...

    First Cider

    Well still with no answers... I kegged it today. It went smoothly, except for when i was pouring in the half gallon of apple juice to back sweeten it. It seemed like there was either a bunch of sediment or a clump of mold sitting in the bottom of the jug... im hoping it was sediment, but highly...

    First Cider

    So its been between 37F and 38F for about 2 days now, i was planing on kegging it tomorrow evening. Is that enough time (3 days) for the 'cold crash' to take effect? Oh and i answered Q1 for my self, seems about 6-12 percent, normal at about 8 percent though. so my current questions...

    First Cider

    I made a cider following a recipie I found on here. Except I followed the recipie wrong and thought that the potassium sorbate and potassium metasulfate were some sort yeast nutrient so I added them right before I pitched the yeast. It fermented, slower than a standard beer, but still...

    Simple cider recipe

    So i made this recipe 3 weeks ago as my first cider. I was dumb and read it wrong 3 or 4 times and thought the Potassium metabisulfite and Potassium sorbate were some wort of yeast nutrient or something, so i added them in at the same time as the yeast. It did bubble a little during...

    New to kegging!!!

    Lay it on its side when you release the pressure otherwise you will get an old stale beer shower. Use a blunt object to push the ball in and realease the pressure before disassembly. You picked up a sankey keg. They are different that a corny keg that most home brewers use, but will still...
