Cool thanks. 3 weeks! My house must be warm last time carbing rook 5 days. I am loosing lots of my apple flavor during primary firminting is that due to my home being warm?

I have use plane jane white suger and it did ok

If I back sweeten with Apple concentrate, it will also carbonate my cider as well correct? Or do I need to add priming suger?

Well cider was great. Not the best in the world but not to shaby. bottled a week and put in freg. Then enjoyed. First of many ciders to try.

Sound good i will have to try it out thanks. I have a Wyeast direct pitch activator for cider mead wine distillinf and sake for 5 gal. Do you think it will do ok.

After i added back sweetner and brown suger the gravity was 1.200

Bottled the cider ladt night. Tadted great! I back sweetened with one container of apple juice concrntrate and added 3/4 cup of brown suger in a cup of water to carbonate. In hine site I am worrying that I just made bottle booms adding suger and concentrate all that suger. We shall see tonight...

Just did first racking, let it sit for 4 days until fermentation slowed to a crawl, starting gravity was 1.050, went to 1.000, tastes more and smells like wine more than cider. Not very flavorful. Going to let the cider sit in secondary fermenter for 2 weeks. Before i bottle should i use...

Thats good info i as well am close to bottling for the first time and would like to have some fizz to my cider. But i would also like to avoid a bottle boom.

Wow looks good. If it turns out good maby i will ty it.

I am trying craigtube's easy hard cider. Allthough i am using Lavlin D47 and not bakers yeast. I was woundering if anyone has tried it before and if so how did it turn out? It looks like it is doing ok 24 hrs in.

Thanks everyone i just did a check on them and they are smelling way better in only 3weeks extra!!! I am going to push it in a corner. Can't wait!!!! One last thing how long do you need to wait after adding suger when bottling to get it carbinated?

I beleave that you can use raises and plums as yeast nutrient. Boil & crush them up to make a past. Drain off the water and use only the water as your yeast nutrient.
