I recently found some I dated January of 2010. It was good but I can't say its worth that long of a wait. Suprised its still carbed in beer bottles..

I have some "Muntons Active Brewing yeast". I am wondering if I can brew up some Graff. I can match each of the other ingredients but would need a 40 minute drive to get better yeast. Anyone know if this yeast will make a nice finish product? Would love to brew today but hate to waste...

another question....I am new so bare with me.. Since your boiling a gallon of water for an hour or so, how much water would be decent to start with to end up with a gallon...any safe recommendations?

Mine was mixed on Jan. 15 and its been bottled one week. I decided to give a bottle a taste. Even thought its very young, I was pleasantly surprised. Its quite tasty and hopefully it will carb up a little more. I'll be making another batch soon. For the ease in which this is to make....Its...

Ive bought all the ingredients minus the juice. Anyone in North Carolina that's tried the original recipe? Tree top isn't available in my area, so whats the best option regarding juice? I love the commercial hard ciders and would be awesome to find a recipe that I like as much.

6 gallons for me..second thing I tried after being introduced to the hobby..

Ha!...I dug it out, but can't remember what I was searching when stumbling upon it. Zombie thread..that's funny..

I am drinking beer from my first brew kit. I am really suprised how well it tastes. I like becks beer and I did the truebrew german light kit and this stuff is actually better than becks. I am sure if I brewed it again, I wouldn't get the same taste as I boiled outside during a snow storm on...

Makes me feel better. I am quite new at this and I can tell ya..I took a deep sniff of that stuff and my body stopped it cold...pretty rough. I don't think it smells spoiled or anything..just strong.. I have read that people like to leave it on the "cake" for aging. I hope it still goes...

I only had a bucket available when I started mine (Ed's original recipe). Its been 4 weeks and I transferred it to a carboy. Not sure if I needed to but some uncertainties with the buckets long term aging with buckets from what I read. I must say, I didn't taste it but has a strong smell...

That makes sense. Just so many little things pop in my head due to my lack of experience. I thought of trying some in one of my 1 gallon batches.

Is this thread dead? How did it come out? I am thinking of making this my second try after I free up some space from my first couple..

No input as mine is 1 week old today, but when you say "watery"...is that a good watery or bad watery?

I have noticed people adding cinnamon sticks and such. I am very new at this, and all the hype surrounding sanitizing and such..... How do you get cinnamon sticks into your mix and know you didn't introduce a bad bacteria to cause off tastes and such. I am not trying to be a smarta$$ and I am...

Your right..keep it out here..I do have one I use for bottling, but its not in the bucket very long.

Are those food safe? I'm new and that seems to be the only thing with buckets. My apfelwein is in a bucket that came with my kit. I have beer in my only 2 carboys. I actually like the buckets better for beer..

Yeah..same sig...love beer. Great Big NO on the tank. I practically gave my stuff away on craigslist
