Update: It was delicious right out of the carboy. Made a few new brewer mistakes because i didn't know any better(now i know what to never do again). I added some caramel(terrible idea because i didn't make it myself) and some FAJC, came out WAY to sweet and the caramel didn't mix well. Its...

Yeah I've read the sticky. I've got my plastic soda bottle ready to go. I'm only carbing 12-12oz bottles because that's all i have at the moment. The rest will be still.

I wasn't gonna dump it, not yet at least. I just had tap water in it topped up once during the week. I put it in the fridge yesterday morning and have been at work all night so I'm not sure when it happened. Its a three piece AL so its not completely dry, just sucked in as much as possible. Its...

Well if it was fine before I'm 95% i fvcked it up now. I had no idea putting it in the fridge would cause my airlock to backsuck all its contents into my carboy... no way this is gonna come out a good brew.

Whew alright. First time brewing anything so i don't know what it should or shouldn't look like. Ill do my best to get pics posted tomorrow.

Yup i know now to pack a lot tighter than i previously thought. Maybe I'm cleaning it wrong? Or smoking wrong. But it tastes a bitter and not like it did when i first started smoking. I know I've been smoking a bit fast to try and keep it lit.

You are the man! I remember reading that but i for the "Frank Method" for some reason. What i don't remember reading when you originally posted that(though I'm sure you did) is the draw should be like a well rolled cigar. My bowis have been way to loose. Packed one in thirds after reading that...

Lmao wtf are you really gonna drink whatever that becomes? I would personally kill it with fire. I've made it through 170 pages of this thread and still truckin. :mug:

Phone is giving me all sorts of problems trying to post a pic. I guess ill be bottling tomorrow around 6pm. Ill let you know how it tastes/smells/looks then.

No its not bubbles. I think I'm over reacting to be honest. I moved the carboy to the fridge(36°) and some of the sediment came loose and fell to the bottom. I just remember reading a thread where this had happened( white substance collecting on the side of the carboy) where it ruined the batch...

Also i did search the forum as best i could but I'm on my phone and its not the greatest and there is 9000+ threads to look through under cider. Also did my best to search google to no avail

I know there is probably 1000 of these threads but i didn't want to thread jack anyone. I started my Cider last Tuesday SG 1.068 and it has been fermenting between 68-72 degrees. I was meticulous when preparing and sanitized everything. Fermentation was going great kicked off within a ccouple...

Can you get those from pipesandcigars? I've noticed almost every one of their pipes are sold out or on backorder.

Pipe smoking is definitely an art. I couldn't keep a bowl lit the first day for the life of me, then i realized my tobacco was way to wet. Left the bag open for a day and it seems to be smoking better. I've been using the "Frank Method" but that will take some practice as well. I know this has...
