I still can't believe that thread about the ohio college and the brew club. Crazyness. So rev its sort of like a gray area that this is on? The irony is a uniformed officer asking the brew shop owner about the legality of this while picking up a brew bucket hahahaha Also I definately...

No no was just suprised to see the candor associated with the topic. And as the possible owner of five gallons of possible "off" cider just thinking about options. This has actually led me into a few hours of research on the topic. Although I am just starting out with brewing and love my cider...

Hahaha well the guy had fourteen dope plants going. I guarantee that what warranted the search warrant. I "still" would love to see the charges that were mounted against him. The tenor and seriousness of your reply is both duly noted and exemplifies my initial point. Fwiw I am new to this...

MMaybe if someone filled their inground pool up and left it to freeze.... maybe...it might be enough.

:-) thanks yeah havntt given up on the cider yet. I was able to get the gist of what I needed to know from the closed threads. Ur right about the opinions though. I can honestly say that if any of the officers I work with arrested someone for freezing and decanting a few carboys it would be a...

So just sitting around and talking to my carboys today... one of whom has terrible farts which is only remedied by frequent and copious addition of yeast nutrient. And being a resouceful guy who would NEVER waste cider I thought... hmmm... if this cider doesn't come out (still ;-) haven't given...

Haha figured id bump this thread back up to the top and give all you vets a break. I personally am on my second batch of cider two 5 gallons carboys. One has been perfect on had rhino farts added some yeast nutrient farts went away ... came back three days later. Added more nutrient (quite a...

Drank.one of.the bottles last night. Perfect nice carbonation.. good taste. Today im going and filling my spare brew bucket. Switching from red star champagne to nottingham yeast. Different cider mill. They do uv sterilization, I don't think the mill I've been using been using does a good job...

Just went to the aquarium store and got 4 buckets with loss for nothin. :-)

Another thing I was thinking about is my refractometer...I mean I haven't used a hydrometer for my tank in years.. and I noticed a definate discrepancybetween what the plastic hydrometer said 1.021 and what the refractometer told me 1.0235. So thinking is this something that brewers use and...

Well I have two bottles left that are left from the first batch. Plan having them for xmas so should have a better idea of how aging affects it.

Of course I used to keep freshwater FULLY planted discus tank. Which almost required co2 supplementation. Gatorade bottle with a pound of sugar and bakers yeast. With a tube running the gas into the canister filter. I was brewing 11 years ago and didn't even know it. Hahaha

Reef keeper for over ten years... palys give me a break.. I put mustard on em and eat em lol. Seriously fill with hot water add a half cup of bleach.. wait a day...fill with cold water.. leave a day rinse and ur more than good. Just started brewing his year. Already obsessed. Took to it like a...

I do like carbonation.... my ferment temp is between 60-66. Don't know about degassing I will search it out. But I did leave in in primary for five weeks, and secondary for three. Was thinkin that this red star champagne yeast has such a high alcohol tolerance that it just leaves my cider dry...

when I was younger I used to drink hornsby's that came in a RED bottle and i thought that was crazy good with an excellent mouthfeel and still potent enough to make you happy. maybe a touch a very slight touch less sweet than that.

o.k. so I brewed 10 gallons of cider, no hydrometer at the time in plastic water carboys that I stole (borrowed ;)from work. fresh pressed pasteurized cider from a local mill, 2 lbs white sugar and one pound light brown split between them. Red star pasteur yeast. Ferment aromas were nice...

Btw wait till you see the buckets your salt is gonna come in... don't buy bags of salt buy buckets... you'll see :-)

Yeah this sucks.both car boys of cider had them one went way in two days and the other is on day.six now still reeks!! Ugh

Ok good this is my first batch so I wasn't sure. And hey... put it in a freezer or over a low flame and it wont stay homogeneous
