I have a batch of Cider currently fermenting with Red Star Premier Cuvee yeast. I was planning on letting it ferment all the way dry, then stabilizing it with Potassium Sorbate, then back sweetening and kegging. My question is how much to back sweeten and what to sweeten with? Should I just...

Hey, I'm curious what Mashtuns you guys are using for this. I've got the 10g Igloo and just calculating the water/grains I can't do this.

I was always under the impression that 312 was an English Wheat. I pick up the Cascade aroma and can picture this beer fermented with an English Yeast. WYeast 1968 possibly.

OK...I'm gonna go the Vanilla Extract route....now the question....HOW MUCH? I'm totally lost....What do you think? How much should I add to the 5gal. Cheers! Dark

I made the Cream Alre from the Brewers Best kit. It is currently in my secondary right now. When I transfered it from Primary to Secondary I siphoned off a glass. I really enjoyed the taste, but would like to get a "vanilla" taste in it. Where would I add "Vanilla" to this? When I transfer to...

David, Thanks for the tip! OK...next newbie question....how long does it sit in the secondary for? Yes, the kit did come with a racking cane, but I am confused on how I "start" the syphon process with that. Any help please.... Thanks! Dark

I picked up my "Brewers Best" beginners kit on Saturday at the store. I chose to make the "American Micro Style" Ale for my first beer. I read the multiple sets of directions very thoroughly and I now have one question... I have my wort in the 6.5 gallon fermenter. It has a lid with a hole...
