I have some space in my yard to plant some apple trees. I would like varieties that would make a good cider but would also work for eating/baking etc. My current thought is winesap, McIntosh, and newtown pippin. Is there anything I’m missing with this combo?
has anyone here made a good non alcoholic cider? I have a keeper so carbonation is not a problem. I’m thinking apple juice with a little ginger is a good start. What do you think?
I want to brew a s’mores beer with smoke in the aroma, but not as much in the flavor. I brewed a couple batches with briefs cherry smoked malt and was very disappointed. I am going to try weyermann smoked malt this time. I can already tell that it smells smokier. I’m also going to try smoking my...

One the foam settles the...
Okay, adjusted psi back up to 8 this morning. After work I pulled off about a pint of foam and then it poured okay. Still a little foamier than I would like. Should I up it to 10 and see what happens?
Thanks for the reply. I force-carbed at 8-10 psi at 38 F. My beer lines are 1/2 OD so I assume the ID is 3/16. I got the kit from kegconnection.
The thing is that I have gotten good pours but the last few days have been all foam.
Hi everyone. I recently built a keezer with a tower and CMB faucets. I am having an issue with crazy foam. My CO2 tank is in the keezer. I have the regulator set to 1 psi and I am still getting tons of foam. I have 10 ft lines. I don’t know how to fix this.
