I had a bottle of Royal Pippin from Abermarle ciderworks,a few weeks ago,it was very good. It was the only bottle I bought out of the 4 tastings offered. I am pretty sure it was just pippins.

Fermentation my be finished in 3 or so weeks but it won't be as clear as it could be, hence the secondary and multiple rackings.I am not one to advise as I haven't let one go past 8 weeks to bottle. As to how to get a sweet sparkling cider, read the sticky at the top of the forum...

This this link at another site, not being extremely versed in beer styles ,origins etc I found it kind of neat. Don't know how accurate it is, but it is fun http://worldfamousdesignjunkies.com/posters/beer-chart-rap-chart/attachment/wfdj_popchartlab_theverymanyvarietiesofbeer/

He is adding a sparge. "few minutes while I'm heating up 3.5 gallons of sparge water to 170 in a seperate pot. " For Aussie style BIAB i would stick with the higher figure. Plan on a little longer mash (i do about 75 min) and then mash out for ten min at 170. If your preboil volume is a...

That calculator uses the standard volume of water for an all grain mash that is assuming a sparge later to make up the volume. I don't think there's a calculator for BIAB. You have to work it backwards. Start out with your finished batch volume and then add water for the boil off and then add...

Assuming it all fits. yes. Good thing about a real full pot is that it holds the mash temp better so that's good. Figure .125/ gallon absorption rate for each pound of grain and a gallon for the boil off and you should hit your target volume. As someone said earlier, mark your pot with a punch...

I do no-sparge BIAB with a 5 gallon pot and make 2.5 gallon batches( about 6 lbs of grain with 3.7 gallons of water fills the pot). With a 7.5 gallon pot you could probably do a 4 gallon no sparge batch. Figure approx 8 lbs of grain with 4.6-4.75 gallons of water. I use beersmith to scale the...

I am assuming that your pot is large enough for a full boil, you didn't say. If you are only doing small batches ( i also only do 2.5 gallon batches) it's pretty easy just to chill in the sink. I just freeze a bunch of water beforehand and keep dumping it in the sink filled with water around the...

I wrap mine in beach towels with one folded on the top and do not lose much heat, I also stir the pot every 20 min during the mash.

You could just experiment and make a batch that fits your kettle size. The largest volume will be the mash. I have 5 gallon pot and the mash is full to the brim with 5 or six pounds of grain doing 2.5 gallon batches. Once I pull and drain the bag there is plenty of head room for the boil. I also...

Not quite sure how the jump from more healthy beer to better sex beer goes but what the whey? http://www.austriantimes.at/news/Business/2010-07-21/25249/Vorarlberg_firm_presents_whey_beer http://mankindunplugged.com/2010/07/29/beer-laced-with-cheese-helps-sexual-performance/

I am on my second batch of this (2.5 gallon batches) and used 2 ox of apricot extract. it went in the bottles yesterday. First batch compared with a six pack was very close. Interesting to note that now the hops listed on their website for this beer are cascade and apollo not columbus and cascade.

Those 5 gal paint strainers seemed small to me. Info from the the Aussie sites say the bag should be big enough to fit your pot inside it and still close it. I went to Target and bought a pair of sheer panel curtains (nylon) for $9.00. I was able to sew 4 bags out of the two panels. A little...

Good luck with you Bock because it's a high gravity beer you may need to add a sparge or go smaller to hit your target volume. Here are a couple of good links with pictures for the process. http://www.beersmith.com/blog/2009/04/14/brew-in-a-bag-biab-all-grain-beer-brewing/...

Yes ,to make up for not sparging. The goal is calculate your total volume taking into account grain absorption and boil off and start with that.I don't know what would happen if you used less as I have not done that. If you are looking for more finished volume there are people that add a...

Last one was a Magic Hat # 9 Clone from a BYO podcast. I start with 3.7 gallons of water, mash at about 152 degrees The bag goes in the pot on top of a vegetable steamer with shortened legs Add the grain 5 lbs of marris otter 2.5 oz of crystal 80 Wrap pot with towels Mash for 70 minutes ( I...

I do a true BIAB , mash with the all the water needed to get to the pre-boil volume taking into account grain absorption. There is no sparge just mash and mash-out. Based on your water calculations(2.5 gallons before absorption) you have to be adding a sparge in there to get a correct pre-boil...

With a 20qt pot, the largest BIAB batch you can make is about 2.5 gallons. I have a 20 qt pot, I start with about 3.5 gallons of water and by the time you add about 5.5 lbs of grain it's up to the top of the pot. Makes it easy to hold the mash temp though.
