Alright, I'm using this http://www.kegerators.com/carbonation-table.php and I want 3 volumes of co2 in my cider. My fridge is set @ 35F. According to the chart, I should leave it at 15 PSI. If so, how long do I leave it at that psi for and how long do I wait until I lower it to 10psi for...

Well, I've been reading a bunch since I started fermenting. I purchased red star champagne yeast for a apple cider (woodchuck clone) from what I understand, it'll taste like white wine & need to be back sweetened with apple juice to regain it's apple taste. So, I read a post by CvilleKevin...

I'm new to brewing, I purchased an apple cider kit made by brewers best. The bag said it'll make 6 gallons and have a alcohol content of 4.75% with a fg of 1.004. If I wanted it around 6% or 7% what would I have to do? Thanks.

My brother talked me into trying a home brew, the owner of the company wouldn't let me leave his store without buying a kit, so I ended up buying a fast ferment beer kit. It's pretty nice. I had a little trouble getting the lid to seal correctly. The rubber gasket kept calling in. I fished it...
