It's all I use. $7.49 for two gallons at Costco.
Bottled my second run last night - this one is made with PRICEY apple juice. $10 per gallon, local austin food co-op 100% organic and natural.
Ran a .996 FG on it too.
Started a run of this on Saturday. Man, it is stinky stuff! Looking to see if anybody else has had successful runs of other flavors, pear, cranberry or whatever, using this same method?
Second batch, with mods (ingredients below), tomorrow morning; will post pictures. I hope I can do Edwort justice!
I'm thinking about doing 3 gallons of apple and 2 gallons of peach Hmmm... seems delicious in my mind
Any brands I should look for in Canada? I am having a ***** of a time finding a gallon jug of the right stuff. Everything is either full of preservatives, or comes in a small volume. The only suitable juice I found at two grocery stores was in 1L containers, there is no way I am buying 20+ of those bad boys. Haha. Any brand in particular carried by Lawblaws, Sobeys, etc? I am assuming I don't want anything with vitamin C added. Is that correct?

I am sure this has been covered several times in this thread, but I think 700+ pages is a bit intimidating for narrowing down info.
Both of the 5 gal batches I started last week bubbled out through the airlocks and I had to swap them out. My first batch foamed up but nothing like these two. Is there any particular reason for that?
did you use a different type of yeast than the first batch because that could do it.
Same exact recipe for both. The carboys are 5 gal each.
5 gal apple juice
2lb brown sugar
EC-1118
So I kegged my first batch last night after 4 weeks in the carboy. Will it continue to age in the fridge under co2 pressure while I am drinking it? Or do I really need to stash it in the closet?
If you're happy with it now, go ahead and start serving. Just make another batch or two so you can put some age on those before digging in.
