thanks guys I'll give it a try

I can't get the pic to show anyone know why

last night I started some hard lemon aid and I made to much and was short an air lock so I hope this works:D

how much does age affect the taste last night I added a 1L can of apple juice in to the mix of course I had to much now so I put the excess of the mix in to a plastic pop bottle and force carbed with 50 psi chilled it in the freezer for 45 mins topped up my co2 to 50 psi shook it up for 5...

my sg is at 1.0 I'm working with 1 gal carboys so my thought was I'll force carb it in 2l bottles with my homemade carb cap for a week then transfer it to bottles after

I read kinda the same thing but it said the active yeast will still produce co2 and alc. the just won't reproduce I guess it's a powdered vasectomy for yeast:cross: my thought was that if it can live and not reproduce it could stay alive but have no sugar to consume and then I add apple juice...

one last thing I forgot to mention I will be force carbing it after if the matters

Hi my first cider has pretty well gone dry last week I transferred it to a second rack and I'll be damned after a few days it became clear I noticed about 3 bubble streams coming up from the bottom so today I racked it again leaving all the sediment behind and I tested the alc. content I could...

thanks well I made a sharp tasting ginger ale I don't know if it's what you want but I took a piece of fresh ginger root threw it in a food processor and turned it into a pulp I'll apologize for the measurements now cause most things I don't measure about a half cup of the ginger pulp 1 cup...

sorry for this question but is ginger beer an alcoholic beverage I'm not sure of the difference from ginger ale but I've made a few recipes with ginger but not sure if I can help I'm new to this

No dry ice is not nitrogen Dry ice, sometimes referred to as "Cardice" or as "card ice" is the solid form of carbon dioxide. dry ice sublimates at -78.5 C and is used mainly as a refrigerant I was only joking about using it, way to many youtube videos of people getting hurt containing that...

well I've got an update I'm off the bottle (so to speak) I went on beverage factory web site and bought a 5lb aluminum tank and a reg with primary and secondary gauges and life is great:ban: I just need to find a great ginger ale recipe now I tried using powdered citric acid instead of...

well your not crazy I just checked it and I'm at 1.015 I guess 1 gal would be quicker than 5 gal well I'm going to transfer it now thanks

no k-sorbate I think all the yeast floated to the top of the 1 gal bottle I gave the bottle a little tilt ( enough to make a small wave on the top) and all the floating foam sunk to the bottom and within 20 minutes it started bubbling and it hasn't stopped since it lets out a co2 bubble...

I see some yeast dies at lower alc% say it was 8% and your hydro read a potential for 10% would that leave you with a sweet cider in the end instead of back sweetening

yesterday at noon I started my first attempt at cider. it is also my first attempt at fermenting anything. I'm making it in a 1 gal bottle with an air lock. yesterday it looked like it was churning and the airlock was bubbling good. today there is no churning it's bubbling very little and...

it should be standard NPT thread take out the valve and go to a plumbing supply shop and explain what it's for and they should be able to fix you up with something simple and cheaper glad to hear you found the problem

after you pressurize the keg are you disconnecting it from the co2? as the co2 is absorbed in to the liquid the pressure will decrease if there is no co2 in the liquid it will take all your pressure until it saturates the liquid with co2. I would pressurize the keg and put it in a bath tub of...

I was worried about the vinegar affecting the taste but it just dawned on me I could use lemon juice that shouldn't hurt the taste I put lemon juice in my ginger ale now I guess a little testing needs to be done like how much of each so I don't blow up the bottle it seem to create co2 a little...

right now it more or less fun for me I'm making the odd bottle of root beer with extract and ginger ale from the roots but I did carb up some kool aid to day it was different if I start getting serious about it I'll look in to a tank do you know if the baking soda and vinegar would affect the...
