I have a batch of cider fermenting in the primary right now. And truthfully, I'd like to enjoy some will the holiday season is still in full swing. I've thought about not carbonating it, or maybe doing half and half. Anyone here prefer their cider without the C02? This is my first cider so I...

:drunk: I sit here after having about 50 fluid ounces of my first homebrew, a british pale ale. The beer went down quite well. I even drank some warm cause I was so excited. So, I'm wandering, how many of you just can't wait till your beer carbonates??? Brandon

Wow, thanks for all the quick response guys. Sam75, none taken. I am just not a fan of the style of the auto-siphon, and I just kinda lost faith in it. I think I'll try the carboy tap. It looks pretty simple, and some places have them with a filter. I just hated trying to hold the...
