I should mention that i am very very new to all this. I use a glass jug and a simple plug with an airlock in it. I dont have the means to bottle yet but i may try using plastic bottles this next batch but i have never carbonated any of my other batches. Would adding concentrate too my apple...

The last 3 batches of cider i have made (1 gal batches using store apple juice, brown sugar, anf Champaign yeast) have turned out ok as in free of pollution but have been very very very tart. I use tart as a nice term because they were undrinkable because they had no sugar left. Some one...

Here in NE 12oz bottles sell for about $25-$30 a case for home brewing supplies and the tall boys average about $3-$4 a piece. IA has the 5 cent trade in but these are all bottle good for using to bottle home brewed beer. I trade in any screw top bottles but it would be a shame to waste these...

Im not sure! I didnt know that there was more than 1. The one i tried had a bright pink bottle and was supposed to be maple bacon flavor

Rougues Voodoo Donut! Tastes like a burnt eraser! Absolutely disgusting! I forced it down only because of the price i paid for the bottle. What a waste of money

Im not sure how to do this but I have over 100 pry-top bottles mostly 12oz but also a fair number of tall boys as well. I don't have any use for them anytime soon with a new baby etc so I would like to sell them. They have all been rinsed out etc and I would really like only $30 for them all. I...

Haha i will definitely just wait than! Thank you for the advise. I was worried because my last batch practically blew up as soon as i added the yeast and because i used a differant this time i was stressing.

Last night I finally purchased a glass jug with stopper and 3 piece airlock. Since I was unable to get my hands on Star san or One Step I used bleach and water solution to sanitize everything then I ran it all thru the dishwasher on Hi-Temp with no soap. I boiled my 100% not from concentrate...

New Belgium did it again! Snow Day winter ale is ridiculously poor! I have given up on this brewery! It tasts like burnt buckwheat and hops. I do NOT like it sam i am!

I ended up drawing off some of my cider to drop the level but its still bubbling merrily away in my air lock. Haha im not used to the sound and i spent a half hour tracking down what the heck was making that sound!

I cleaned it etc. wiped the foam of that had over flowed and put it back on. Instantly foam was being forced thru it again. How often should i take it of and clean it?

Thanks im going to do it asap

I agree. To me Stella tastes like skunk water! Id rather drink cheap malt liquer than a Stella.

Its still going and going. Should i wait for it to stop before cleaning my airlock?

I am very new to brewing/fermenting and i just did up a batch of (hopefully) hard cider using 1 gallon of 100% apple juice from the store, fresh made mango puree, and 1 pound of dark brown sugar slowly bringing the whole mixture to a rolling boil until everything was smoothly blended. Then, just...

Thank you very much for the advice! I was even able to make an air lock out of stuff i had in the house! I am in the process of starting my new batch right now. Im excited to see how it turns out. Im going to do my best to wait as long as i can but i get thirsty!

I just had a friend tell me how to 'brew' hard cider at home using store bought pure apple juice, sugar, and brewers yeast. Being financially strapped and unable to buy a full brewing kit I followed his directions and made a 1 gallon batch using brown sugar and let it ferment 8 days in the same...
