Nice. Whole cranberries? I'm racking a gallon into secondary today over 8oz of frozen/thawed/frozen cranberries for my first time trying it. Might sweeten with honey or maple before bottling, still not sure yet.

Well do not try to carb in the gallon carboys! They aren't made to handle pressure as far as I know. I was just introduced to this thread regarding the pressure gauge - https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/monitor-your-bottle-pressure.591360/ I ordered the parts from mcmasters as...

After a week on the stir plate - nothin. Maylar was correct. I have to give up on this experiment now and make room on the plate to grow some more 775. I will, however do my best to duplicate that maple blend seasonal. Very excited now that my pressure gauge has arrived and I can...

I weigh out 2 grams dry yeast per gallon. No issues.

Sounds interesting. I can't imagine what the end result would taste like. Any reason wheat bread instead of rye? I think rye might be a better flavor. I've never made bread kvass though, only beet.

1 gal WL775 going to rack over cranberries 2 gal Caramel Apple Pie, w/ Nottingham 1292 + 3 = 1295

Perfect. Thanks!! Just didn't want to get them in the mix before removing labels. Let the bottling commence!:inbottle:

Check out this chart - https://www.northernbrewer.com/priming-sugar-calculator I've haven't used maple syrup (yet). On my list....

I swear I read somewhere that Angry Orchard bottles are inferior and should not be used to bottle carb. Of course, now I can't find that info. Now that I've done research and know what all the codes mean on a 12oz bottle.....it doesn't help. These are not twist offs and they look and weigh...

Enjoy an Imperial!! :mug: I'm jealous.

I've been trying to control as many factors that I can, without purchasing apples and a press. That isn't an option right now. I've visited many orchards and tried different juices. Not all are the same and Ochs was the most unique I've tried - not your typical sweet cider. It was...

I found some great juice at Ochs Orchard in Warwick NY, was told it's available year round. They freeze it and keep it available so I should be good there. I'll also be stopping at Clydes Cider Mill in Mystic CT tomorrow to check that out as well. On a mission to find the best juice! I'm...

70 orders to go.....I found the good orchard juice, now I'd like to get this while I can still easily keep my ferment temps down!

After having family taste test the above batch, success!!! Everyone seemed to like this, even with almost zero carb. I found a commercial brand, Embark Apple Pie to put it up against. This recipe won hands down. I'm going to be making this again as my next batches for the holiday. Shooting...

Oh right, well I figure why not try. Any excuse to experiment. I've seen some videos of it done with beer. Although I'm not sure how yeast could survive the processing.

I picked up the variety pack yesterday. This stuff is pretty good! Still a little on the sweet side for me, but I got Maple blend as the seasonal and that might be my favorite out of the pack. SG was @1.009 (yes I measured them all). So this being unfiltered, you are supposed to shake hard...

I had a gallon of UV pasteurized orchard cider go 'wild' on me in my fridge before I had even opened it. (I had no idea it could ferment so cold) The plastic jug was so bloated..... I poured it off into a glass carboy to let the natural yeast continue for a few weeks. The result was just like...

That would be my first guess for sure.

I'm a newb too but this got me wondering,,,,,any star san?? Did you sanitize or just rinse? I'd be concerned something was growing in your carboy that you don't want.

I just bottled a gallon 'turbo' batch WL775 - 4 weeks to carb, can't wait to try it chilled. Quick taste - it was still sweet, slight apple flavor but what else? Banana?? Pear?? Where did that come from? :D I haven't treated with preservatives - yet. I'm topping my carboys up with more...
