Welcome to the forum from a Texas Brewer.

I always wanted to make cider and planted some apple trees but they aren't big/old enough to yield yet. I'm too cheap to buy apples or juice to do it.

Passedpawn, I love that song. Thanks for that. I'm an excitable boy and needed calming down.

Welcome to the forum from a Texas Brewer. Good luck on your cider. Lots of Cider guys here.

Welcome to the forum from a Texas Brewer.

The Vevor fermentor is 304 SS, so no problems there. The Vevor brew kettles are 201 SS (although the fittings, valve , etc are 304. I didn't passivate them. Here is the inside of my little Vevor brew kettle I use for extracts that I have been using for a year. I'm guessing 25 batches through...

Oops, Post deleted. I hate wasting peoples time.

Yep +1. Got mine last year for $124.99 (includes tax and shipping). Amazon sometimes carries Vevor products. The only thing I don't like is the valve on the bottom is too small (like alot of them made in the US and elsewhere), it needs to be a larger diameter to drain the trub. I already told...

Here is a pix of what I use. I don't know about red or white, these are liitle yeast balls and they are white in appearance. The oriental grocery store lady said they were red yeast rice wine balls for whatever that is worth. She said use these to make rice wine. I use these and these alone all...

My buddy said he was stopping by with beer. This never , ever happens because he is cheap. He would risk his life for you, but wouldn't spend a penny to do it. I should have known. 🤣 I'm betting cheapest case on sale wherever he bought it. Actually it tastes better than I remembered. I haven't...

Big silicone gasket for the rim of a Vevor 8 gallon SS fermentor lid

Most of my equipment is from Vevor due to cost (It's very affordable ). 5 gallon 201 SS kettle, 16 gallon 201 SS kettle and 8 gallon 304 SS fermentor. So far they are working fine. Anyway, I needed another large gasket for the lid of my fermentor. I couldn't find that thing anywhere. Even...

I still have 2 jars of those red yeast rice balls left. I get mine either in Katy TX (large chinese-american population out there) or at Hong Kong market in Spring TX. They are imported from China. I'm running low on glutinous rice though, need to pick up some more.

From China-Zhejiang province- No Malt per se, but uses grasses, herbs, tubers, acorns etc. Interesting read...

Hey, it could be like my buddy that told me the story of the hijacked marmite truck. He said everyone for miles around had marmite stacked in every shelf.. 🤣 I laughed because a childhood acquaintance (grew up with this idiot) of mine was part of a crew that hijacked a truckload of tuna fish...

Welcome to the forum from a Texas Brewer. I mostly brew beer but have made 2 batches of mead (I also keep bees, garden, reload, hunt and fish). I made One melomel recipe on here (Joes Ancient Orange Mead) and another famous one on here called Brays One Month Mead (uses nutrients) - done in a...

When I first started I used to let it ferment (total time in fermentor sitting in the Fermentation chamber) for 2 weeks (per the instructions on the extract kit) and sometimes 3 weeks if life got in the way, with no problems. I bottle condition for 2 weeks with no problems but ambient temp...

Caps and a backup hydrometer from Ritebrew ( those guys ship quick) and Root Slayer Shovel for the hop yard

This is breaking my heart.😢 I even downloaded the driving directions off mapquest and it's almost a 10 hour drive one way. If I had somewhere to put it, I'd jump all over that, a few states away or not. Someone please, please, pretty please, with hops and malt on top...... buy this, it's a steal!
