I intend to use Muscelmen's Cider this weekend to do my first cider and was wondering if this is right for this... the only thing other than cider is Vitamin C and citric acid would not be a problem. I also lucked into some white labs Sweet Mead yeast for cheap and I dont see people using this...

I use a zip-zap larder tun (explained in Carlie Papazian's book "The joy of homebrewing") of 2 5 gal buckets togeather, one with holes drilled in the bottom, i sure you get the picture. Last time i used 12 lb of grain i ended up spilling out of the back and making a hell of a mess. Today I am...

This is my first All Grain brew and only my second brwing in my life so i dont know if this is normal or abnormal, I had no way of taking out the Trub so there was atleast 2 1/2 inches of sediment in the bottom of my carboy. I added one vial of Trappist Ale yeast and after 24 hours there is...
