    Which electric controller?

    So I wrote Auber about the using a percentage of the power during the mash and this was their response. "The Cube 2E or 2S is installed with DSPR320 controller. On DSPR320, you can lower the output percentage when the heating is in the acceleration phase, using the parameter mOUT. But once the...

It looks more like growing, lined globular rather than the increasing layer of yeast dust I am use to. I fermented with Wyeast 1028...

    Last weekend's cider making

    Yes, they are well known English cider apples. You can order the trees from several U.S. nurseries and have them shipped to your house. Orange Pippin is one such nursery you can order from and they have many good cider apples and cider pears you can choose from. I also bought a Barland cider...

    Last weekend's cider making

    Hey Maylar. No, I'm in Oregon. I started growing cider apple and pear trees a few years ago and am just now starting to get a yield big enough for full batches.
