So I liked the peach mango I made. Not so much the apple cranberry so I'm going to try the peach mango again but this time add an additional concentrate instead of the brown sugar and throw some frozen peaches that I thawed into it halfway through fermentation. I also will start another cider...

So you are saying add the fruit after fermentation is done. So what are you saying about the remaining amount of sugar? As far as secondary, I don't remember where I heard it but you compare it to adding ketchup to an already cooked meatloaf.

Wouldn't that be the same thing as putting peaches in secondary? I'm talking about putting them in primary but at 1/3 sugar point

I was just reading in a different website about a tip someone received from a pro mead maker about a peach cyser recipe. The tip was adding fresh frozen-thawed peaches in during the last nutrient addition to help preserve some peach flavor instead of adding them at the beginning. I'm a beginner...

How would you do this? Just strain it with the brew bag while racking it? I probably should have done this with the original juice to begin with. I bought some dried apricot chips from aldi the other day and was going to throw some in carboy once this cleared up.

It's mostly the pulp. Both juices were very cloudy and good bit of sediment at bottom. I haven't added any fining agents and I really don't wont to but I will if anyone thinks it would help.

So I racked this looza peach and apricot juice mead back on the 7th and it's been like the pic now for 3-4 days now. Am I wrong to hope this will clear any further

So due to unplanned out of town job training next week, my plans for a blueberry mead for this weekend have now changed to a blueberry cider. Started off last Sunday by cold soaking 4 lbs of blueberries in a gallon of spring water and throwing it in my kegerator at near freezing temps for about...

Not sure if this goes here or wine forum but has anyone used the Knudsen just blueberry juice? I'm wanting to throw some s-04 into a gallon of the blueberry juice and see what happens. If you have, how did it turn out

Maylar, have you been to that B Nektar? I live about 3.5 hrs in northern Michigan so it may be awhile but looking at their website they have a lot to chose from. I wanna try that ananazi. It's the orange blossom mead aged in bourbon barrels

I have 18lbs of star thistle from a local apiary here and it's going into a cyser later next week. Going to add cinnamon and vanilla bean (secondary) to it. I read that star thistle has kinda of cinnamon aftertaste to it. I haven't tried it yet though

Just made a cyser with aldi juice and turned out so far so good. It's in secondary right now. Headed back in the morning to pick up 5 gallons worth and probably some frozen concentrate to add some more sugar.

so im guessing this will be a dumb question but can you use tosna with ciders or is it just mainly for meads. im about to make another cider this weekend and would like to try using go ferm and fermaid O.

I'm fermenting a one gallon batch in a two gallon bucket so it wasn't a big deal as far as the geyser part goes.

I just started a peach mead yesterday and did the go ferm and am following tosna but if you go to Scott labs website it says to add fermaid o only in 2 doses. But tosna says do 4. But I have another question. Do you degas before or after the nutrient addition or does it matter

Probably not the best peaches to start out with but I'm about to experiment making my own frozen peach concentrate. I have used the old orchard frozen peach on top of their juice to make a quick 7% cider and it was good. Probably one of my favorites so far. I was going to start making a mead...

I just tried a blueberry mead with black currant concentrate. It looked very nice and tasted very good

So the peach juice I got is actually a 33 ounce drink from concentrate. I bought 3 of them. Would it be possible to use these 3 and fill the carboy up to the 3 gallon mark with water along with the honey.

I have a 3 gallon I stole for dirt cheap on Facebook so I will rack it off into that for secondary
