Looks solid just make sure you have enough yeast and make sure it's happy throughout the fermentation and it will be tasty

I would for sure use fresh raspberry s during the secondary about 2-3 lbs crush em up heat em to 160 for about 10 min. I add mine to a sanitized grain bag and rack the beer on top. You won't be disappointed

i was going to make a kiwi wheat beer and add 4 lbs to the seconday i have always had great luck with adding the fruit then. it seems to give the beer great aroma and if you tranfers the beer a little earily and carry over some of the fermenting yeast it tends to ferment out of fruit...

Got a 5 gallon batch with safeale 05 that I pitched last night woke up and had a sulfur smell. Is there anything I can do to correct this?

Gotcha thanks for the info. One more queston i am guessing im going to need to use yeast nutrients i have some Wyeast Nutrients from my beer making would that give the cider what it need to ferment clean? or do i even need to add anything? im try to get the cider drinkable asap...

whole hops for the win witha nice swirl every couple days to get all the good oils of course in the secondary. don't want the co2 carrying away that wonderful smell. as for hops 2 OZ. of citra to a ipa smells like a dream!

+1 on the "yeast" book this book will give light on the mysteries of fermention!
