Thank you Bill, i have had the analog johnson control on my fermentor fridge for about a year. I am cold crashing for the first time after fermenting my first 2 lagers for several weeks. Been nervious about the fridge cutting off before it reaches 34 F. Thanks for your help.

So should i just sit on it for another few week, then back sweeten or go ahead and add some sugar now and let go. I want to see what it turns to by itself i think. I can always ad sugar at the end

Ok, i tasted and checked gravity on this over the weekend. It is at 1.008 or so and seems to be tasting dry. In fact, it doesnt have much taste at all? I want to bottle some for a party in november but fear it will taste... not great. Should I back sweeten? or just wait? I seem to remember...

Thanks. I will just leave it where it is at. Thanks for the help.

Burnt the honey and put it all together today. I have to say, it was a little crazy burning it. I guess the burner i used was a bit hot, it took all of 15 minutes before i started seeing black steam and got to be a real blackish red. The weird thing was that he minute i put the honey on...

Ok, that makes sense with the tea, also. I will be using store juice and will need the balance. Thanks for the help. Back to procedure. Are you saying you shake every day for two months or so? I guess i hadnt thought about it, but it sounds like the honey allows to just keep fermenting...

Just looked it up. Tannin adds that pucker factor. Got it

What does the wine tannin do?

That is just what i needed. I bought 5 # of honey from a local beekeeper. I will go with that and just go with the vanilla extract. I guess you arent boiling at that point so it should show up at the end. That all sounds good and will add the nutrient, too. What about the pectin. Needed?

Looks like this is a bit old, but i have been buying time to try this burnt recipe. I am going to make this, probably tomorrow. Never made a cider before. How often do i need to degas? How long to ferment? I saw the thread about 1/3 ferment. Then what. I am going to look over some...

No, it was barley and vine. Also found that austinhomebrew.com has 7.99 flat rate shipping.

Oh, i saw a add for a company out of atlanta the charges flat shipping of like 6 dollars. Barley and vine is the name.

Yeah, check out northern brewer and midwest. They both seemto do well and are pretty reasonable

How to brew is great! It will give you the crash course version, and then you can go back to get into the details when you have quetions and time

Lagers take a while and cold fermenting. As it sounds like you know. If he likes lagers, try a altbeer. I did one and it had a real clean finish, like a lager. But less steps

Sorry to hear that. You might stick with partial grain-extract brewing. Get two 5 gal. Recipes ( that come with decent instructions) and brew away. Extract brewing will allow some wiggleroom. As farca a brew goes, try an IPA. That is what iwas told, because hops will likely cover up any...

I found this app at the apple app store and have been trackimg and reading for months. Finally felt like posting something
