Too bad I missed the festival, I really wanted to go but I had exams unfortunately. Ill make a point of going to Utrecht soon. When will Lactic Fantastic become available again, sounds freaking great! Congratulations on the prize.

What everyone else said, plus the flip top will fail before the glass if it is in good shape. You will still have a mess if it fails, but it won't constitute broken glass.

first one, hands down.

Just wait a week (Em assuming you just bottled these 1 or two days ago) then open one and check for carbonation. Taste it and smell it, if it doesnt smell like satans butthole, its probably fine. If its not carbed, try again one week later. If by that point its still weird, I would scrap em. As...

Im not sure you will get such a high percentage ABV without distilling, but definitely give it a try. Remember to be really careful with your sanitation, I currently have 5 gals of beer that is turning into vinegar, and I have no idea what im going to do with it. Remember to use fresh pressed...

Pear cider is called Perry, apple cider with honey is cyser, but is there a technical name for cider made with both apples and pears?

Looking great, Im racking onto some pear juice as soon as I get more nutrient in the mail. I forgot to add it when I went into primary. Ill link to my forum post on it as soon as It is done so you can check it out. I also plan on using some bentonite towards the end to clear it up. Cheers!

Not sure about but it, but sounds like a great idea if it works. I was going to rack onto some pear juice in a couple days to increase the flavour and alcohol, but I might do this instead if it works. Or maybe a bit of both. Either way, I hope someone has the answer for you. Let us know how it...

No idea, but now I crave pretzels haha.

16-1-15: I decided to give cider a try, but wanted to have some fun while at it, so I changed the recipe that came with the Magnum Cider Kit I purchased. What I did was the following. I used a neutral Champagne yeast instead of the "yeast and sweetener" that came with the kit. I also added...

Has anyone ever considered using one of these? http://www.banggood.com/Aquarium-Glass-Hydrometer-Fish-Tank-Water-Thermometer-Salt-Marine-p-922232.html Its an aquarium glass hydrometer and thermometer, seems like a great option, it just doesn't have the markings a hydrometer intended for...

Thanks for the help. Ill be sure to research attenuation so I know in the future.

My fermentation temps where steady, always between 69 and 72, ( we had a snow storm in the begining, so it started at 69 and balanced out at 72 by the end of the week) the original gravity was 1.065.

Ok, thanks, It is an extract kit. Ill let its sit for a few weeks then. I was only concerned since the instructions said to bottle at 1.010. It was in primary for a week, and its been in the clarification or secondary (not sure which is correct) for another week.

I have purchased a Brewferm Christmas kit, and have followed all the directions. I am now at clarification, and the gravity has not dropped for five days,since it reached a gravity of 1.020, down from 1.031. I have read not to worry and give it time. I plan on waiting another week, but if the...
