    First go at Cider

    Will it effect my cider if I don't use the nutrient/energizer? Have to wait till next go round at the lhbs to buy any.

    First go at Cider

    My fermentor is a Mr beer lbk. I live in a old house turned into a town house so space is limited. I know the higher Temps cause fermentation to happen faster and can cause off flavors but what is ideal temp for cider? I was under the impression 68-72 was ok.

    First go at Cider

    I've read instead of yeast nutrient you can just pitch 50% more yeast? Also my homebrew store isn't something I can visit just anytime I want since I have to travel to get to the closest one. Also just starting out trying to figure out my temperature control. Can I wrap a wet towel around it to...

    First go at Cider

    I don't know the gravity of the juice yet. I'm using store bought juice with no perservitives. My wife is wanting the brown sugar for a little added flavor, so when should I add it for that purpose?

    First go at Cider

    I'll be making 2 gallons of cider. Should I just use one cup of brown sugar? Also do I need to boil the sugar before adding in water or just dissolve it in the juice?!

    First go at Cider

    I just bottled my first batch of beer, next up is my first cider. I have my juice and will be getting my yeast tomorrow. My wife wants to add a little brown sugar to up the abv and add a little flavor. This may be a silly question but can I use the brown sugar I have in my pantry? I'll also be...

    Mr. Beer shiver me timbers kit

    Has anyone brewed the shiver me timbers recipie kit from Mr. Beer? I just bottled my first batch today and am think about this one for my next batch. The fermentor is sitting empty and dry and just doesn't seem right.

    Newbie question

    I bottled today after 12 days in fermentor. I got 9 of the 740ml pet bottles that came with the kit. Per instructions I used two carb drops per bottle. Looking forward to trying the 1st bottle in about 14 days.

    Brewery names--what's your story?

    Me and my wife just started brewing. The town we live in and grew up in has an Indian mound in the center of town. So we decided at the moment on Indian Mound Brew Works.

    Mr Beer - Read all about it and ask questions

    My lbk started leaking. The nut backed off on the spigot and I lost about a half gallon of my brew. I had to tighten the spigot back up. Contacted Mr. Beer. Stated they had never heard of this and never responded back. Has anyone else ever had this issue?

    Newbie question

    I didn't not make my wife taste test first. I taste tested yesterday after having to work on the spigot.

    Newbie question

    My wife tasted a sample today and said it tasted like a flat Miller light. So I will be botteling this weekend after 14 days in fermentor.

    Newbie question

    I used two carb drops and bottled in a 740ml pet bottle that came with kit.

    Newbie question

    I bottled on bottle after fixing the spigot. Been in fermentor 8 days. I'm going to bottle the rest at the 2 week mark and see how things turn out.
