As you guessed, I had a sweet cider in mind. But I really was thinking "cheap and easy" and "different than the beer kits".... you would recommend going against the brown sugar then?

I'm planning to brew up some apple-cider on the cheap in about a week, and I thought I would take someone else's advice and post on here to get some opinions before I went through with it. I'm new to this, so I did some research here first. Links below. Currently I have a beer in my...

Very well done. Well written. Ignore the bad attitudes on here. I think you've inspired me to try to brew up a cider and I had no thoughts to do so before reading this thread/article. Great work.

Nicely done sir, nicely done.

Nah, I'm making an educated guess based on suggestions. I know what he likes: Bud Light.

Good luck, but if he's like my old man I think you're banging your head against the wall. I figure my pops knows what he likes by now. So I'll try to match my brewing to his tastes.

Thanks! Can I ask the "why" question? I've been trying to read threads here and talk with a few brewers around town and some people thing a secondary is absolutely necessary, others think a primary is just fine. Could you explain your thinking? I ask because I was thinking of just buying...

Thanks that looks great.

This looks awesome. I might try this for my first "non-kit" batch. Can I ask a noob question? Can I just half that recipe? right now I only have the capacity for 5 gallons. (one 5 gallon carboy).

Wow, thank you all so much, I hadn't realized this forum was so active. I just started, and don't have a special fridge for temp-controlled lagering (yet). I'm trying the american light ale from Brewers Best (would I break any forum rules if I posted links? I don't know who is financially...

Hi everyone, First, thanks for the site. I just found this place and I've already read dozens of threads and learned so much. So I have a question for you all. Without getting all sappy, I owe my father BIG TIME, for a lot of reasons. And I want to create a special brew for him...
