Toss that shiz man. Sanitize thoroughly as my knowledge of the green monster, it's hard to get rid of. You need heat and much chems. It looks like it's already releasing spores. Clean that baby out!

I read somewhere in the soda forum I think, that you should chill the beverage to allow the co2 to dissolve. Is this necessary? How long and how low does it have to be if it is true?

Does clearing that far leave enough suspended yeast to bottle carb?

I had found them at a Northern Brew in west allis good sir! At bottling for a plain and back sweetened I had added 1 candy (crushed) each to two grolsche bottles and 1 soda bottle so I shall report back on the final!

You can Backsweeten carb and for taste. Use the recomended amount for both and let it carbonate. I filled a soda bottle to test by hand (when it is firm the the squeeze it's ready) but then you have to pasturize it. There is a sticky in the forum for it, check it out! Update: all bottled up. I...

Today's the day, I got a new hydrometer and I will give detailed notes and pictures. This is how I'm feeling Edit: bottle scrubbing will start when I return from school and the store.

But it's only a calc so it won't be as useful. My suggestion is to comb through the forum here and just absorb :)

I don't know if it's on apple store but there I one called cider kit.

Well, I'm not sure about apps but the app for this site and this forum as well as the recipe forum is for this. Also there is an app for the forum as well, I don't known of that's what you are usingbalread ;)

Soaking and scrubbing my friend then sanitizing

Each candy has 4 grams it's 3.32 grams per 12 oz bottle so I should be good in adding one. I got the Golding variety.

Well I also am back sweetening, so it won't be dry and there should be enough sugar total to get all carbed up. That just means I'll need 2 soda bottles haha (for the rest of the normal batch and hopped)

So I bought I bag of hops candy and something ticked in my head. Hey what if I primed with this? You'd get hops and carbonation. I was thinking about doing it with a bottle or two and report back. Has anyone experienced this? Also to make sure it disolves better should I crush it up?

Knowing how water reacts with oil I am not sure this would be great. Though as a solvent alcohol might help with that. I would advise no make the extract man! but I have zero experience so you should probably wait for the experienced!

Another update Since I'm doing a full 3 gallons I will be adding approximately 1.8 cans of apple concentrate for both carb and sweetness. Since I discovered mold and particles in the grolsche bottles I got at a steal for 50c per I guess work had to be involved. So I will be cleaning those and...
