im new here, what the heck does RDWHAHB mean?

i thinking of making a batch next week and I was wondering after a week or so of fermenting , I can back sweeten with some more cider, then add the priming sugar, bottle, and stove top pasteurize it, do you think that would work or not?

look up some videos on you tube

I just did another fg check and got the same as I did 3 days ago, beer is dark in color but clear, the only thing is it seems to have a harsh alchole taste, I figured I would put it in my celler till the wk end,then bottle and cold crash it.

yuuuup I was thinking of doing it that way. thanks for the advise everyone :mug: I think this home brewing might be addictive, I got one ale in the fermenter, getting reading to make some hard cider next week, and I just ordered some more goodies and another recipe kit today, I tell you what ill...

now I got a foolish question. after your wort is done boiling you should cool it down below 80 degrees before adding your yeast, then you add enough water to bring it to 5 gallons, so could I just add cold water to it, instead of taking 45 min to cool it in a sink?

when its time to do a cold crash,can I bottle it first, and how cold do I got to go?

that's how I did my first batch, I also filled up some water bottles the night before and let them freeze for the cool down.

looks like I wont be making any,there wasn't as much as they thought

I added it to see if there was something wrong with the yeast, because it only showed signs of fermented for 24hrs. and I figured a little brown sugar woudnt hurt it.

UPDATE Thursday I boiled up about 1/2 cup of brown sugar, with about 2 cups of water it started fermenting real good till this morn, I just did a fg and got 1.010-1.011. should I leave it in the primary for a few more days or im I ok to transfer to secondary, as I sampled the test liquid I think...

I will about 300 peaches tomorrow can I stick a peach only cider?

as of the energizer I think you add the last 15 min of the boil

I took another look today and I could see things floating and some sinking, and tiny bubbles coming to the surface,the temp strip reads 64-66-68 all are lite up, Im going to wait till saturday morn to do a fg check and maybe transfer to a secondary. but the brew is thick I shined my flash light...

NICE you sound like a Polaris fan

I will get a reading today after work

hows it taste, ive been thinking about brewing some for my next batch, ive never had a cream ale(not that I can remember)

I also added yeast energizer to the wart during the boil.

yes it was a 5 gal batch that's kind what I was thinking, that it cooled down, but from what I read it suppose to be mid 60's, and I cant believe it would be done on 24 hrs, from what ive been reading on here, most brew takes atleast a week. but idk . I thank everyone for the help

this past Friday I brewed some pumpkin beer and aerated after cooling added 2 packs of muntuns dry yeast( it sat for 15min) and almost instantly it looked like the yeast was at work. the temp was around 76 degrees,so the next morn it was going good and I read it should be around mid 60's , so I...
