Sounds good. I'll have to check them out next time I'm in Raleigh. Merry Christmas!

Walker thanks for the tips. I see you're hailing from Cary, NC, which LHBS do you shop at? The only one I know of is Grapes & Hops.

Hi all! I recently visited a home brew store in Portland, OR and it got my wheels turning on getting into cheese making. So naturally I turned to the wisdom of this forum and Google, of course. With that being said any tips for a newbie getting into the cheese making arena? I was thinking of...

I have a bunch of this stuff left over too. Alcohol content was pretty high in 2x1 Gallon batches. Kinda moonshine-ish. Any suggestions from the community as to what to do with all the rest I have left over? Not a huge fan of moonshine.

So far so good. No explosions. Cider is clearing up pretty nicely actually.

http://www.retailmenot.com/view/northernbrewer.com is where I find some.

I went with 1.5 Teaspoons to be on the safe side. I figured I might as well heed my elders on the first go round.

Thanks for the info. Good to know stuff. These are the bottles I plan on using. Do you think they'll be up to additional sugar?

My girlfriend bought me the Mr. Beer brewing for my birthday yesterday. I made a batch and was looking through the instructions and it suggested for its 1 liter bottles to use 2 1/2 TEASPOONS for each bottle. Is this just because its a beer recipe? Honestly I expected less sugar added to the...

Bombo80, Thanks a bunch. I was trying to do this number crunching in a pretty large seminar haha! Thanks for helping out. Now, if only the cider would clear up...

I'm somewhat in the simillar situation. I have 2x 1 Gallon batches going right now however, I am using champagne yeast. I've been trying to figure out how I should prime the 1 Liter growler bottles I have. Any thoughs or suggestions?

I'm really interested in making a 5 gallon batch of Honey Cider. Do you have a basic reciepe that you followed, how much honey, etc.? Thanks for any and all help. Good to see another Portland person on here too!

I have not experienced myself but I have read both here and other places that the Oranges citrus can kill the yeast. But your ingredients sound good.

Well I taste tested the other day and the batch was still a bit syrup like and sweet. The cinnamon flavor though was not at all over powering for me at least. Another batch I made the day previous had a slightly more alcholic kick to it. Although the cinnamon batch is still bubbling and...
