do you have a chart/link that says what different sugars/malts do to gravity?? this would be extremely awesome.

Shalom . . . I have a recipe for a high alcohol ale (don't have it in front of me now) using honey as one of the main fermentables and also brown sugar, crystal malt. . . another malt. The recipe is from that homebrewer's recipe guide and is called "groaning ale" if anyone knows it. What...

Did you use store bought cider? It could be preservatives stopping the yeast. . .

The pasteurization isn't what makes it not ferment its the preservatives. if you put in another cider with potassium Benzoate you may have killed your yeast. you can use lactose to backsweeten. The UV pasteurization is supposed to make a clearer cider and the heat pasteurization a hazey...

I was thinking that might be the case. I think its average carbonation but when it went into the bottles it was clean and clear. . . now there is stuff at the bottom of the few bottles left. Dead yeast like at the bottom of a wheat beer plus... something. Cider leaves a big pile of nasty...
