any update on how this beer turned out? would love to give it a try. any tips/changes?

Cheers to this!

getting the apples out of the carboy was definiley tough. After racking to secondary, the apples were quite a mess. It took alot of shaking and washing to get everything out of there...but the beer tastes delicious

Guess i should start rummaging around to see what I can contribute!

How important is it to refridgerate your beer after bottling? Obivously before I plan on drinking the beer I'll cool it down, but I can't always fit a whole batches worth in the fridge. Plus sometimes i dont always store my beer in the fridge or else I'll come back after a weekend away and...

1. Brew more often 2. BJCP certification 3. Switch to all grain 4. Become more involved with the brewing industry

I would love a BYO subscription if still available!

just starting brewing in 2010 and proud to say i'll be finishing up the year with 40 gallons brewed

happy hour

one question, can humans eat these too

definilty an entertaining show, and Sam definilty has the personality to keep even the non-beer geek or homebrewer entertained. Just saw the Bitches Brew episode the other, pretty cool concept

I am thinkking the same thing. My "5-gallon" secondary definilty has some head space where could probably fit the beer and I am positive that this beer is going to need to do some clearing/settling out. Time to start thinking about the next brew :ban:

JTK, did you end up moving to secondary then? I ended up just adding the cider to primary, as you had done, as i only had a 5 gallon for secondary. Glad I did not too since adding the cider brings it up to 5.5 and another round of Krausen has sprung up higher. Is secondary still needed...

wow crazy. so are you thinking it's better to just keep the beer in the 6 gallon primary rather than racking to 5 gallon secodary when throwing in the cider/honey?

Are you guys all adding 2 lbs of honey? and 5lbs of apples? i was thinking the "#" meant units. So 5 apples and 2 containers of honey... Oh well the sample i tasted after the first hydro reading tasted great, so im sure it will end up great. Krausen was visible within a couple hours and there...

So what's up with the different OG's....I cam out with a 1.055, OP had 1.069 and jkratzer came out with a 1.042. Still a relatively new homebrewer, can anyone explain this difference? I was under the impression that with an extract brew that the OG would not vary too much. Of course i guess...

Brewed this guy yesterday with your extra tips, fermentation took off within a couple hours and the house smelled amazing. One questions though... My OG reading came out around 1.055 which seems much lower than the 1.069 you stated. The juice hasn't been added yet, but you did mention your...
