That makes me feel a lot better. I might try to add more sugars and do a longer ferment, I am pretty patient... I can leave it in secondary. Thank you Chavalcider!
Unfortunately I didn't take the starting gravity... I usually take the SG and fastidiously keep track of everything with my mead. With the cider I thought it would be easier- I will definitely keep those records for next time. Thank you for your advice WVMJ!
I have made some meads and ciders so far and I am a lady... go team :mug:
I hope to venture further out into the brewing world and have a little bit of anything ferment-able going eventually.
Glad to finally be a part of home brew talk.
Considering that there are many errors in the counting process along the 19 pages of this thread; I am still very impressed with the amount of mead made this year.
Well done brewers!:mug:
I will add meads to the list:
13 gallons of mead
2...
I have started two easy hard ciders using organic pressed apple juice from Sprouts.
Ingredients in each:
Approximately one gallon sprouts apple juice
one cup fresh apple juice
1 cup of sugar
and a pinch of nutrients
The only difference is one has: SAFE ALE US-05, one has LALVIN...
