So you don't worry about a keg bomb or some tall glass of foam if you backsweeten?


To bottle still means you're bottling dry cider, right? I like it slightly sweeter.
I waited til it was completely done fermenting at like 2-3 months and racked onto 3 apple juice concentrate cans. Also, it was using Nottingham rather than wine yeast and I think it used some cider and dark brown sugar as well as corn sugar FWIW. Still is uncarbed.

More nugget while playing yahtzee with the kids.
 
Was finally getting around to boxing up banesong's box-o-beer feeling super guilty about my delay and BAM!! Bottle bomb of cider! Luckily I had put all beers in a box and closed it, carried it inside from the garage and set it down. Walked about 3' away and it was an explosion. Took about 24 bottles of cider, uncapped them, dumped them into 1 gallon jugs and they're in my fridge. Guess who will be drinking cider a lot this weekend? That is in between the soon-to-be birthday extravaganza 2014 1.0!

But seriously, the whole bottle cracked at the bottom of the neck near the body. I am so thankful right now that I didn't box that one (it was intended for banesong) and send it. I would never forgive myself if he had gotten hurt by that.

Drinking cider...hahah

I wonder if I can make cider, backsweeten it and keg it.

To the search mobile batman!

D'oh, glad you are okay. I let my cider completely ferment out, down to .998 or so. That being said, it is bone dry and not back sweetened. Looking forward to kegging, so I can play with the sweetness level. I do also bottle it still - drinks like a white wine with apple hints.

Had a Devils Backbone Vienna Lager. Not too bad, was afraid it would be sweeter.
 
My latest, 101 IBU IPA after just four days. +1 for the anxious club. Smacked.

The weizenbock was one of the worst gushers I have ever had. That thing sprayed like a mother floccin volcano all over my carpet.

All of NEBCO's IPAs have different hops in them but taste similar. I think the base of the beers are very, very similar to each other.
 
Found a lone wolf lurking in the back of the beer fridge. After opening it I found out it was a honey porter I brewed over a year ago. This was the first time anything I've made lasted over a month or two. I'm not going to lie still taste pretty good. I wish I could go back and get one at a month old for comparison. I remembered more honey flavor then

Nightmare on Grand Cru. Holy, this is incredible. Sharing beers with a buddy, we had Only Void Red Wine Barrel and Thensaurum earlier.
