Entered,good luck!

That looks amazing! I love that RPi touchscreen, what is the software that you are using for it?

Hello, I have been brewing for about 7 years now and have noticed what I think every brewer realizes: yeast work better and faster when they are given the proper amounts of nutrient additions. After some trial and error, and working more on the mead and cider side (where the main sugar...

So I saw this article, saw that the book had good reviews, and bought the book. It is very interesting, I have made normal cheeses and yoghurts, but I have always been interested in trying out a non dairy alternative to cheeses (SWMBO is vegan, so food options are limited). I will try out some...

^^^ I agree. In fact, with current population trends, we are very likely to use insects as a main source of protein in the near future. Also, check out tempeh and sent an if you haven’t had them yet, they are fermented foods.

Hey, nice thread, I have been making ciders, meads, and cysers for several years and I have always monitored the sugar level to taste and stopped fermentation through cold crashing, although I have let a few go all the way to 0.998, those being Montrachet, D-47, EC-118 in the past. They were...

Hey, just saw this post now, I am currently using coconut sugar in my cyser And mostly notice a mellow molasses flavor that is prevalent even in a low final gravity. As to using the coconut sugar like you would other sugar, you would need to calculate the amount of sugar from the grams of...

Hello! I have had really good experience with D-47 going into my cysers. Out of curiosity, is your recipe just apple juice with honey added to it? or are you adding water as well? and are you planning on halting fermentation before it completely ferments out the sugar?

I have only used whole cloves and ground nutmeg, but yeah, just toss it into the carboy and it will fall to the bottom in a few days to a couple weeks. I believe whole nutmeg might float around for a while, but those things are POTENT, I don’t think you would want to wait for them to fall to the...

I feel like most everything should be added at the end of primary to beginning of secondary for ciders. although, unless I am reducing it for a more concentrated flavor, I do not boil my cider. instead I buy pasteurized apple cider with no preservatives added to it (like benzoates or phosphates...

It really depends on the quality that you are buying, but I would guess somewhere in $15,000 easily, this is mostly based off the chromatography machine, PCR machine, cryo freezer, conical fermenter, and spectrophotometer. personally, I think that level of equipment is overkill for any small...
