Yes, Please.

Outstanding!

The cider turned out great. A bready, semi-sweet, "This is what a farmhouse cider that you'd get from Grandpaw should taste like" cider. FG was 1.014, if I recall. Dangerous, though- Beer-enough like to drink by the liter, and wine-enough like to ninja you to the floor when you try to stand up...

All over this one. (As with all prior ones!)

Pitching onto the young [primary] cake of a prior 1.050 ale. I racked the first beer off the primary cake on day 6, and then put the big stout on the cake.

After more "pitch on cake" research, I poured off the cake, and used a cup and a half of the slurry to inoculate this cider batch. I didn't measure OG, but with the above described contents, I would estimate a 1.060 OG. It was bubbling constantly for the first four days, and has almost...

Well, I measured the OG on the Stout, and it came to 1.090. I sissied out, and I pitched on the entire cake, anyway, not having brewed a beer this large before. If nothing else, this will at least give a basis for full attenuation potential for a beer this large, and for how many esters are (or...

Thanks for the feedback, guys- I am heartened by your reports of great results. For the past week I have been in a debate with myself over whether to pour out a part of the cake, or to pitch on the whole thing. I read all ob Bob's sticky "Why not to pitch on your yeast cake", and he makes very...

Fellow brewers, I have a WLP 013 yeast cake from a spiced brown ale (OG 1.050). I plan on pitching a "big" stout on it. My question(s): 1: Speaking OG, how small is too small (1.060?) and how big is too big (1.150!?!?) 2: How would you scale a standard BJCP recipe to a...

Brewers, Bottom line: I plan to put apple juice on a yeast cake, and I have three questions, regarding: pectic enzyme, juice OG, and yeast nutrition. I have a 1.050 OG spiced brown ale on its third day in primary. The WLP 013 (London Ale) fermented very violently (half of a 5L [1.035]...

Nova, I agree about not gluing (at least for right now). Those fans of gluing CPVC will all tell their horror story about mid-mash manifold deconstruction after a gentle mash stir. I have already done a water half fill and leak test (mainly to test the bulkhead fitting- it leaked, and...

Fellow Brewers, Bottom Line Up Front: Here is a CPVC Manifold design option that I have not found anywhere else for a frequently used cooler for mash tuns: the Coleman 70 Quart Extreme Cooler. (Purchased Online [LHBS does not stock them] for approximately ~$40.00) First, this manifold...

Outstanding! I'm in!

Sharp. Count me!

UPDATE: The first, "cold crashed" cider carbed under ~12-15 psi for 7 days. First Sample, a week later, lost most of its "apricot-y" character, and was now more "sweet and sour apple" flavored. Also notable was a mild bready-fermentation note, as well as a good yeast plug from the keg dip...

Consider me "in"! Thank you!
