Anyone have any experience/reviews of the poly science professional sous vide? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

It was never really clear but it had been done bubbling for almost a week. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

I'm on my 2nd ever 5gallon batch of cider. With the first one I added pectin enzyme to the secondary and it came out crystal clear. This time I added it (along with potassium sulfate) about 7 days prior to back sweetening and kegging. It's real cloudy compared to batch #1. I've done some...

Is there a chance you could get your cinnamon flavor by using cinnamon flavored candy (atomic fire balls, hot tamales, etc) ?

I, and everyone that tried it loved it.... Makes you feel like you accomplished something! I feel like it was probably only around 6%, maybe less even... Which isn't the end of the world.

Cider turned out good with no bottle bombs! Only have a handful of 12pz bottles left! On a separate note, I have transferred my last 10 gallons into carboys. I didn't have my airlocks and stoppers at my temporary house (extensive remodel of primary house), so I covered them with aluminum foil...

Well dishwasher cycle is through and it looks like I may have a clearer cider w some sediment in the bottom, could this be dead yeast? I never tested the dishwasher but I had it on high temp cycle.

Well bottles Arron the dishwasher now on high heat wash! Popped one successfully w/o a bombing!

My2nd hydro reading was 1.028 after iAds additional sugar. It was at like 1.04? When I bottles it but it was sparkling, which makes me wonder why if my airlock was not plugged? On another note, my plastic pickle jar has not become hard from carbonation at all...

Well luckily for me one gallon is in a plastic pickle jar, so monitoring it with that might be my ticket to avoiding the bombs. Being I added the sugar and potassium sorbate together is there a chance it won't ferment again as fast, or even at all again? I just bottled at about 6pm so nothing...

Would a pasteurization stop the bottle bomb? How long do they generally sit before pasteurization?

Yea I meant sorb ate, my bad! And I did indeed add them together :/

Ok flash forward a few weeks and I have another few questions... I transferred my cider from the carboy to bottles this evening, and the smell was gone, woohoo!! I noticed when I moved the carboy there was small bubbles (which turned out to be co2). My airlock was not plugged so how could that...

Nutrient added, fingers crossed it clears it up :)

Thank you very much.

So of I add some nutrient to it, it should be ok?

I should research more before I post, but since I already have a thread I'll just add to it. My uncle and I both have out five gallons bubbling after adding the additional sugar. He snuck a sample from his about 5 days after the additional sugar was added ( so do I, ha). Both of our ciders...

Guessing smrter than I thought, I mean smarter! Lol
