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.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.
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!

First time w this one. Not bad
Poor man's Gandhi. It's the unofficial session beer of the state of Connecticut. NEBCO has been dry-hopping the Hag for 2-3 months now.

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.
Sounds like lagunitas
Heady topper
