cyser

Dear all, I want to make a sweetish melomel that is sparkly and not too strong (i.e. not 18%). I obviously cannot really on any backsweetening here. Now there seems to be a couple ways to go about this. One is to add less honey to the mix, use yeast with high alcohol tolerance, bottle it of...

I have this gallon of cyser that’s been fermenting for two weeks. The bubbling out of the airlock has crawled to almost a standstill. How long will It be until this stuff sinks down, generally speaking? Or will it float to the bottom?

As the title suggests, I’m on day 4 of my first ever brew, so I decided to do a simple mead and cyser. So far the mead looks aces, but I’m worried by the cyser. I had to replace the airlock after two days, then resort to a blow off tube the day after due to extreme foaming issues. I’m worried it...

Hello mead heads, I’m getting some Voss kveik yeast from Omega yeast in Chicago. I want to make a cyser and the temp range on this one says 62-95 degrees F. However it also says best fermented hot! I do not have temp control equipment and my basement where it would be is 68 F. Can anybody tell...

G'day all, I was hoping someone could give me a clue as to the off taste that is happening with my cyser. Made on about 4 quarts of apply juice and a pound of honey. Used Fermaid K and DAP and went to about 13-14% Into secondary I also added: juice of 3 lemons 1 ounce lemon rind 1/2 tsp...

Hello! So exactly a week ago I started my first ever homebrew. I bought two gallon jugs of apple cider from Whole Foods, and left one as is, and the other poured 1.5 lbs of honey into. Then I added 1tsp of Yeast Nutrient (Urea and Diammonium Phosphate) and 1/2 tsp of pectic enzyme to each jug...

So I have been looking for apple varieties for fermentation, and the best I could find was here. Thing is, besides McIntosh, Liberty, and Cortland, these aren't really the varieties I typically find in either the produce section of the grocery store, or the gurneys or jung catalogs. Are there...

I'm getting ready to make my first mead, an apple mead. I was planning to make a 3 gallon batch with 2 gallons apple juice (pasturized w/ no preservatives) and a gallon of water with around 9 lbs of honey. I made a starter yesterday for my White Labs sweet mead yeast. I filled a half gallon...
