Ok the lowest I can get it down to is 71 degrees I have a t-shirt wicking water to cool it off. It is gonna be sparkling and I am going to put it in a champagne bottles. I am using montrachet dry active yeast for hopefully a dry cider. I am planning on getting a carboy next paycheck, what is my...

I would suggest the plastic champagne "corks". They can be pushed in without a corker and then look like regular bottles of champagne. Just remember a wire hood is much more important because they don't expand in the bottle like real cork ones do.

yeah I actually just got some organic apple juice that just has apple juice and vitamin c in it.

Thanks! My house is 77 and more likely gonna be in the 80's over the summer, is that gonna be too hot?

Ok I am planning on starting my first cider today but I still have some questions about what I need to do it. First if I am using apple juice to start do I need to heat up the apple juice to sterilize it? Next the recipe calls for apple juice concentrate for priming as well as to push up the...

Maybe a stupid question but follow the directions on the yeast nutrient or the directions in the recipe? And what kind of apple juice concentrate did you use? getting ready to try it first time making cider!

Hello all, For my next home brew I wanted to use the Corona Familiar 32 oz bottles, How the heck do you get the label off of them? My Uncle said vinegar worked for him but I saw no results with it. I also tried denatured alcohol, Acetone, and in desperation brake fluid (since it ruins any...

Thanks Zamail that's exactly what I needed to know! Now I have to wait for the mulberries to grow :/ I will post results when it is ready!

What does the number after crystal malt mean? Does that refer to color, amount of starch or something else? Like what's the difference between 10L and 60L?

Hello all, I was planning on making a Blackberry stout over the summer so it will be good in the fall and a thought occurred to me, I have a mulberry tree that overhangs my yard. Rather than using blackberries use the mulberries. Has anybody tried this? I am a little afraid that it will clash...

Scott I like the way you think! :mug: Thanks for the advice guys!

OK if you put beer in 22 oz bottles will that reduce the amount of oxidation since the ratio of head space to the volume of beer is smaller?

Hello all, What exactly goes on in a secondary fermentation? What does it accomplish and what style of beers benefit the most from it? I've noticed some recipes call for it and some say go straight to priming and bottling and don't give a clear reason why. Thanks, MC

Awesome! I can already taste my London Bitter!

hello all, I know you can't brew in an aluminum pot but can I get away with an enamel one? I am definitely going to get a stainless steel 32qt soon but I I won't be able to afford one till next month and I want to bring a new batch to my cousins birthday party in about a month and a half. I...
