I just put on my Xmas ale 2 days ago. It is smelling great in the bucket. I just wanna sit around it and smell it till it is done. Ginger, Vanilla bean, clove and cinnamon. On a nice dark wort... Perfect! :D

Naw... Nothing funky living on top. Just has a smell to it. I'll crack it open tonight and try to bottle it. It is clear as glass, which is nice tho.

I made a cider/cyser at the beginning of April. 1 gallon. Let it sit... And well, I forgot about it in the closet. It is still sitting. Airlock still has a bit of water in it, but very low. Smells. Sour milk kind of smell. It is still on the yeast. I didn't even rack it to secondary. I am scared...

I did a recipe... That kind of followed the recipe. I am very excited. I might use a different yeast... May throw in some Safbrew T-58. See what happens... I am excited.

Installing it on my s4 now... Thanks!

Either way, it is working. It's really working well. :)

Thanks! I was just cleaning a keg as well... and I needed the same thing. Lets see if this fixes the leak.

I have a ton of breweries very close to home. Vancouver seems to be pumping out the beer in the last couple of years. They are all about 10-20 mins away, depending on traffic. Green Leaf Brewing Black Kettle Brewing Deep Cove Bridge Brewing Parallel 49 Storm Coal Harbor I mostly hit up Bridge...

Not gonna be here this weekend.... So I decided to brew up an imperial chocolate and pepper stout before work today... Just finishing boil.

Was just wondering if anyone has tried doing an extract of this beer???

I'm interested in this one... Was gonna pitch some S-05 on there... What do you think? Maybe some peppers...

I find that it is the yeast as well. I have used EC1118 for most of my other batches. This last time, i had a pack of S-04 and decided to use that. Same juice and everything. Walmart Special. Great Value 100% Apple Juice. The S-04 seems to be a lot more apple flavor. Maybe it was temps? I don't...

Welcome! :)

Thanks for all the great info. I am in the midst of converting my fridge. Just using a picnic tap for now. Gotta wait for next payday. Thank goodness it is a three pay day month! This is mine so far... Sorry pic is sideways.

Hahah! I don't know... Throw some more apple flavor in there, maybe? I don't know. I've never added fruit before.

I was wondering about pouring hard cider over untreated apples. And if I should treat them, how would I go about that?

I was thinking of racking a gallon of cider on top of some grannysmith apples... Is there anything I should do to the apples first, or will the booze in the cider kill anything....??.

I am totally in. Winning is fun! :D
