So, A brew-club at my work recently did a brew, and while I wasn't there for it, I found out that they had some wort-cooling issues. Running to the store for more ice, etc. Anyway, They brewed from an extract kit. I believe that at some point in the past someone told me that with extract...

This looks good, and I'm planning on trying this recipe for my next brew. Does anyone have any tasting notes or advice regarding this recipe? Thanks, Brad

So, I got some US04 yeast, and dumped a bit of maple syrup in it, and got the SG up to about 1.055. But I to an SG reading today, and it was already at 1.002. And that's after about 4 days. Now, maybe it's because I'm using pasteruized yeast, or something else, but I don't have any idea how...

Not to get all fancy, but I was thinking that when I do my next batch, I'd bump up the IG with some pure maple sugar. But I haven't found anywhere that gives a good guide on the pts. lb/gal on various types of syrup. Has anyone tried this? I'm curious what kind of flavor/ how much flavor...

Well, I was given a keg a while ago, but I haven't gone and gotten the valves and tanks that I need. So maybe this is a good excuse to drop some money on that. But I will try, for now, making some flat sweet cider with what I described. At least I can check the taste. I'll post my...

Wow, This whole thread is awesome guys. Tons of great information here. My Fiance loves Strongbow Cider, but I don't know what it is particular to that brand that she likes. Maybe it's drier, maybe it's sweeter. Does anyone know? Anyway, I want to try my hand at making some simple cider at...
