I had some film yeast a couple of years ago because I had too much head space on the carboy after primary. I racked it out from underneath the film, gently sulfited, and bottled normally. It tasted great. Here is the thread with pictures...

I ran this through an online calculator (http://hopville.com/recipe/1660085) and found that as written it was about 110 IBU's!! So I made a few changes and got it down to 71. 1/2 oz chinook at 60 1/2 oz Cascade at 30 1 oz Simcoe at 30 and 1 oz Simcoe at flame out.

Has anyone added fresh cranberries to their cider for the additional tannins? If so, how did you do it? How much did you add? Did you like the final product?

I had some film yeast last year. I sulfited and bottled it still. It was delicious. No off flavors.

The powers that be blocked it because of the soundtrack.

Inspired by this thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f32/caramel-apple-hard-cider-292770/ , I mixed 2 cups brown sugar with 2 cups water, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and boiled it until it was dark and syrupy, then let it cool. I added it to the 3...
