    Midwest's Apple Ale Yeast

    This kit sounded really good. But I have a concern with the yeast calling for a cider yeast. I read that the White Labs English Cider #775 (suggested with kit) is dry. Now I can only relate 'Dry' to the montrachet yeast i've used making edworts apfelwein. That came out way too dry for my taste...

    Doh, old yeast

    So we just started Ed's Apfelwein as a base for a berry cider. After we pitched the yeast, we noticed the Best Before Date: May-25-07. I've read that you guy's usually make a starter with old yeast to see if it is still good. But since mine is already pitched, do i just sit back and wait to...

    Splitting your 5 gal batch into 2

    Hey everyone, my brother-in-law told me that after he has his 5gal batch of wort, he halves that into 2 different carboys, then fills up the remaining 2.5gals with water again. So he ends up with 2 5gal batchs from his original. Is this a good idea? Would the recipe need to change? Just...

But I just bottled my second batch, a summer ale, and I have higher hopes for this...
