Hi, Im thinking of brewing a lighter beer, maybe a blonde ale, or a saison and Id like to figure out someway to get a nice crisp pear flavor in it. I think I'll just try some Bosch pears in the 2nd. Does anyone have any thought on this? Thanks a lot! -Lars

Hi, I'm brewing on a 10 gal Sabco system and using the chillzilla counter flow wort chiller. It takes me about 40 min to cool 10 gallons to around 65 degrees. My cold water temp is around 55 and at least 5 gal per minute. Does anyone have any thoughts as to why it takes so long to cool...

Thanks for all the tips. I checked it again this morning and it looks like I was too impacient. The air lock is starting to bubble about once every two minutes. I think I'll try to add some more brown sugar this today.

I bought the cider at a local orchard, there's no potassium sorbate listed on the label.

I started my second batch of cider the other day. I added two cups of brown sugar and boiled a gallon of it with a few spices (cinnamon, cloves and all spice) before adding the other three cold gallons. I let it sit for 24 hours with campden, hydrated the yeast added it and now 48 hours later...
