10 more for me, trying nutmeg/cinnamon spiced this time around...

327+10=337
 
just dumped another 10 gals in my fermenter....

338+10=348
 
2 gl with baker's yeast, just for fun.
6 gl Premier Blanc and EC-1118
No added sugar yet. 1 step at a time for the newbie's experiment. All in an ice cooler to keep a 45 / 55 degree temp. It will be some time before it's ready.
That's a total of 8 gl, for those who have a math deficiency.
348 + 8 = 356
 
just dumped 10 gals apple juice in a bucket, came here to brag...and got the tip from @RPh_Guy to try it with oak, so added about 4 oz's light toast oak chips to the fermenter....(i hope the beer boys don't miss me! been being lazy recently on my brewing :))
 
Im a recent convert...

1G basic apple
3G apple/cherry
1G apple cinnamon

362 + 5 = 367

For future reference, does this thread count cysers? or do I have to go over for the mead people for that?
 
Just bottled four 1gal batches of cider made from store-bought juices. Pitched S-04 into each.
1gal apple
1gal apple & Montmorency tart cherry
1gal apple & pomegranate/cranberry
1gal apple & mixed berry

367+4=371
 
5 gallons of Sour cherry, cuvee yeast. Sweeten in keg with Old orchard cherry pomegranate
371 + 5 = 376
 
5 gallons strawberry hibiscus cider, 10 gallons passionfruit cider, 5 gallons citra dry hopped, and 5 gallons of standard cider. Whew, lots of catching up to do! 376+25 = 401
 
Posting this in the right thread this time...

429 + my first 2 x 5 gallon batches = 439
 
Ooh, this is a fun thread. I haven't jumped in yet, so lets give the total a boost. I pasteurize large amounts of juice during apple pressing season so that I can continue brewing cider using my own pressed juice throughout the entire year. For the most part, I do wild-fermented single varietal batches during the pressing season, and apple/fruit blends using the yeast that I harvest from those wild ferments during the rest of the year. Batches I've made in 2019:

6 Gallons Apple-Peach Cider using Wild-harvested yeast (January 2019)
6 Gallons Apple-Strawberry Cider using Wild-harvested yeast (February 2019)
3 Gallons Sweet and Sour apple blend using wild-harvested yeast (March 2019)
6 Gallons Apple-Blackberry Cider using Wild-harvested yeast (April 2019)
6 Gallons Apple-Currant Cider using Lalvin EC1118 Brut yeast (May 2019)
3 Gallons Apple-Peach Cider using Wild-harvested yeast (June 2019)
6 Gallons Special Single Varietal Apple using wild-harvested yeast from this varietal (July 2019)
6 Gallons Apple-Strawberry Cider using Wild-harvested yeast (August 2019)
14 Gallons Gravenstein Single Varietal Wild Ferment (September 2019)

That last one is the first batch using this season's apples, and also my first batch using my new Spike Conical. It is currently happily fermenting away in primary, and so far appears to be another successful wild ferment.

6+6+3+6+6+3+6+6+14=56 Gallons

Bringing the total for the thread to: 463 + 56 = 519
 
Final Pressing from last season (beginning of March)
6 gal - Belgian Ale Yeast
6 gal - 71B
6 gal - D47
6 gal - QA23

First Pressing of this season (mid september)
12 gal - Scottish Cider Yeast
6 gal - 71B

539 + 42 = 581 gallons cider 2019
 
581+10=591

nothing special....added some leucine and glycine to increase fusel alcohol esters.....(i'm weird like that!)
