+6 of 8 month old frozen fresh cider with 2lbs Brown sugar added:ghostly:

292.75 + 6 = 298.75
 
Plus 5 gal of basic Apple cider (my first try)
309.75 + 5 = 314.75
 
First brew was pitched last Thursday.
6/4 - 1 gallon of North Coast Organics (1.050) + 1 can FAJC = (1.064)
6/5 - 1 gallon of Target Brand Concentrate (1.050 + 1 can FAJC = (1.64)

Wanted to try the difference between the unfiltered stuff in a glass jar and the cheap stuff. Kicked it up a notch with some concentrate. Used dry Red Star Blanc yeast in each.
 
I started 2 test batched 2 weeks ago.
Both with Cote de Blanc.

1gal of 100% plain Walmart juice.

~1.5gal batch FAJC + extra juice the latter. Threw in ~2# of shredded frozen apples in mesh bag.

316.75 + 1 + 1.5 = 319.25 gallons
 
Add another two. (experimental "bought"juice. 50% Pink Lady and 50% Granny Smith with SO4). One batch will be dry hopped. 2/3 of each batch will be fully fermented, the rest bottled at 1.010 and heat pasteurised at 2atm (hoping for 1.004-1.006 FG). Man, my head hurts from trying to keep track of what I am doing! Of course this is all in the interest of science.

319.25+2.0=321.25
 
Finally decided to start another batch. Used another 3 qt bottle of Great Value with so little more added as to maybe finally get this to an even number? So a little over 3 qts, 2.2 gram Nottingham, 1-1/3 cup sugar.

333.25 + .75 = 334
 
3 gallons that were brewed, keg and consumed, and 2.5 gallons I started yesterday.

336+5.5=341.5 gallons
 
Done quite a few just have not added to the group. 5 gallons sour cherry cider cuvee (drunk), 5 gallons of graff, 5 gallons of sour cherry jam cider on nottingham sludge dry hopped with Mosaic, 5 gallons sour cherry s-04 and 5 gallons of sour cherry cuvee


341.5 + 25 = 366.5
 
5 gallons unknown with Renaissance Fresco yeast
5 gallons transparent with Mangrove Jack

396.5 + 10 = 406.5
 
6 gallons Orchard Juice cider (unknown apple blend) fermenting with WLP775 to be consumed Fall of '21

406.5 + 6 = 412.5
 
well, i decided to experiment with this batch a bit....i was looking at the yeast cake from my (trying salvage beer, which was a very light stout....no pun intended, lol)

and i wondered what a little roast barley flavor would be like in a cider, so on went the reason for this post!

412.5+10=422.5
 
5 gallons of 80% apple and 20% cranberry cider
422.5 + 5 = 427.5 gallons
 
Are people really keeping track? I'm new at this, and this is what I have going so far:
4 gallons with purchased Louisburg cider, with SafCider and Premium Ciderhouse yeast, started July 30
3 gallons from my own apples (Enterprise, Liberty & Jonafree), with SafCider yeast, started Aug 15
11 gallons from my own apples (same as above, plus Dolgo crabs), with Red Star Cuvée and Red Star Côte des Blanc, started August 23
7 gallons from my own apples (same as above), with Belle Saison yeast, started August 31

So...25 gallons altogether so far. I figure on one more pressing. I sure hope at least some of this is decent.

This is a running talley of what everyone who participates has made. So...

429.5 + 25 = 454.5
