I was a member here for a little bit but quit drinking due to health issues. I bought these from EC Kraus wine making supplies with the spigots/air locks already installed. i didnt buy them both at the same time so I didnt get the discount for buying 2 at the same time, I paid around $65 a piece...

Ha! I was in Dublin a few days ago. Damnit. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, im thinking about making both kinds, I just wanted to try extract first so i could see how they compared.

Hi, im looking for source recommendations for root beer extracts. I have found tons of them online, but im wondering if there is a golden standard or some well liked ones out there. Thanks for any help.

Im wondering if using an ale yeast to carb a root beer will create an alcohol content. It seems to me like it would have to, am I wrong? I want a 100% alcohol free soda, so would force carbing be the only way to acheive that? Thanks for any help.

I guess I should point out this isn't the traditional apfelwein in Ed Worts post, as I didn't use the montrachet yeast, I used coopers ale yeast.

So I just spent 3 hours bottling my cider. Looks like my final gravity was .996, my beginning gravity was 1.065, I'm trying to figure out how to calculate ABV :D This batch was huge, it did 56 - 12 ounce bottles, 4 - 2 liter bottles, 3 bombers, 4 - 1 liter bottles, and a few others. :D The...

I just got another 14 gallon tank to use as a bottling bucket today, so i think im going to bottle this sunday! YAY! I hope the 1 ounce of sugar per gallon works ok. Ill post a final gravity later. Thanks for the help people. :D

I'm planning on bottling 10 gallons of cider in 50 glass beer bottles and the rest in plastic 2 liters or 20 ounce bottles. I hope it turns out ok. :D

I bought it here: Wine Making Supplies :: EC Kraus

This question might have been answered somewhere else, but I cant find it. I'm almost ready to bottle my cider, and I want to carb it. Ive seen people say 1oz of corn sugar per gallon dissolved into water then added to the bottling bucket. The only thing is I have my cider in a fermenter which...

So its about 5 weeks later and I took a sample. The gravity is around 1.003 or so. The taste is kind of sweet and apple flavored and you can really taste the alcohol in it. Its delicious right now. I might give it another 2 or 3 weeks then bottle. I used coopers ale yeast in this batch, so that...

So, 2 days later and still no bubbling in the airlock. A buddy told me this could be because I only filled the tank with 10 gallons of liquid, and there is an extra 4 gallons of headspace thats empty, so hopefully it will start goin soon.

haha, its not a dog food container, its a 14 gallon Tuff-Tank beer/wine fermenter. Some kibble and bits might be a nice dry hop selection though. :)
