Well Maple season is just about to start, and I think im going to attempt to make some sort of cider/ale. I plan evaporating 20 gal of sap down to 5 gal and put my cider yeast maybe a little cinnamon or fresh apples. Has anyone tried doing this.it may have a good kick since the sugar will be high.

I thought if you chilled it down and left it in the fridge it would stop the fermentaion?

Well if there anything left im going to store in my ceiler where it's around high50's to low 60's.

It will be 2 weeks in the bottle tommorow and been at 65f . Ive tested a few amd eavh one is getting better carbed. Head retantion is low and only lasts gor a minute, and lots of bubbles for about 2 min then it putters out and yhen yhere all gone Just now I moved my bottles in front of my...

I thought you can over carbonate bottles

Because I dont have enough frig space, and another isn't a option

Ok I have the itch and want to brew some more. I was wondering at what temp can I store my beer so it stops getting carbonated, im hoping to store a few batches in my ceiler

Yuuuup

Well I ended up boiling for 60 min total , the gravity is right on the money, im just waiting it to cool to 70 deg tp add the yeast

No only 60 min total? I just wasn't sure since it took 25 to bring back to a boil

So i just added my fermentables to my boil and the instructions said after 45 min add flavoring hops, well it's been 25 min get back to a boil , should I reset the timer for another 45min?

I'm sampling my home brew right now it's been carbination for a little over a week its there's no real pumpkins taste it's more of a amber beer but its nice and smooth easy drinking

sounds like a normal day for me, actualy yesterday I bottled my beer and I had it in a keg cooler out side so I decided to transfer to my bottling bucket instead of moving it, and I got about the 2 1/2 gal mark and it started to rain for about 10 sec on me
