Just read a new cider making book that mentioned using Oak Leaf tea as a source of tannins. Has anyone done this before? I did some research on the internet and people actually used to make Oak leaf wine. Finding apples with high levels of tannins has been very difficult. I’m looking for an...

Just sample my faux cider I started last December. Super smooth and very tasty. Will be bottling it up soon. Going to start another batch soon.

Doing my first Cider with oak cubes. I like the suggestion of using a liquor to sterilize the cubes. However, I don’t want to add any liquor flavor yo the cider. I’m thinking Vodka would work best.

Great. Thanks

Very interested in your findings. Do you have the table available to post?

How did it work out? I’m also looking to add some some mouthfeel to the cider. I too just returned from a trip to the U.K. The cider there was incredible.

I’m about to do my first Frost Cider. Heard that description from a cidery that uses a freezer instead of Mother Nature. The OG they recommended was 35 brix (1.153 sg) or higher. The final gravity should not be below 1.050 sg (which is to the style guidelines). They use the wild yeast that’s on...

Going to try and brew a GF beer for my brother in law. However, my LHS does not carry Millet or Buckwheat. Do you order your grains on-line? Looks like the Grouse Malt House has a great selection, but not sure if they ship to home brewers. Going to take a stab at your recipe if I can find the...

You are correct, its the High Gravity controller and I absolutely love it. I also like that I can control my two pumps. I was very lucky that I can connect my Braumeister's three prong plug into the controller. The 220 wall power outlet requires a four prong plug.

Well I finally managed to remember my old password. Its been two years since I posted anything. I figure I would show my 15 gallon all electric rig, my new Braumeister, some brewing projects, my 3 gold homebrew medals I recently won, and my chillers. Cheers

The Circle C neighborhood in Austin, TX is considering adding home brew to their annual B-B-Q event. They are interested in getting neighborhood brewers in Circle C to contribute a keg of home brew for everyone to sample. A seven tap kegerator will be provided with plenty of ice to chill down...

Tulsa has a great Homebrew Supply House called "High Gravity Homebrew Supply". I've been to this shop several times and it looks like they are doing well even if it is illegal to brew your own in Oklahoma.

I bought my stir plate in order to get more consistent yeast starters. Since yeast tends to settle out, the stir plate will keep the yeast slurry well mixed, which also helps produce more yeast cells. You do not need a stir plate to be successful, but it is a useful and convenient tool.

I typically let my beer stay on the yeast cake for two weeks before I keg it. This time, I was thinking of giving dry hopping a go. Once the fermentation process stops, I thought about putting 1 OZ of Sterling pellets in a tea ball and letting it soak for 3 to 4 days. Then next saturday (end of...
