In the early 1800s, it seems, people in USA were all drunk on cider. Families going through a barrel a week... And then it just disappeared - or did it? Seems that the WASP were responsible for it's disappearance as a means to keep German and other immigrants from snaking their way into...

Almost 4 weeks ago, I started two 20 litre batches of apple wine at 1.110 starting gravity. I kept one of them on top of my clothes washing machine, which is in use several times per week, and the other one in the same room on a stable surface. The batch on top of the washing machine is now...

If you live in a city, that is... Took this one this morning while walking from the bus stop to the office. Usually, I drive, but today I took the bus.

Just started a Cooper's Toucan Stout this evening. 2 cans of Cooper's stout extract 1.5kg sugar 2 packs of Cooper's yeast Topped up to 28 litres. Should finish @ about 5.3% ABV by this weekend. It's real fun to do an extract when you are running incredibly tight on time - like I...

Last week, I threw 300 grams of sugar and 17 litres of apple juice into my demijohn and forgot about it. That would have reached about 8% ABV if I'd just left it alone. Yesterday, I was at the store and noticed that they are almost giving away apple juice and sugar (the same juice I've used...

This is supposed to be the most popular beer per country, but I'm not really sure how accurate it is. For example, I never see people here in Finland drinking Olvi...

Subject says it all: is bottling 10 points high into PET enough sugar to get a proper carb? No risk of explosion, not worried about that.

Never had a problem with Cooper's yeast before, but this might be a mostly dead packet. I put together a batch of hefe using 1 kit of Cooper's wheat beer, and 1 can of Cooper's unhopped wheat extract. Dry pitched the kit yeast at 22 celcius, put the fermenter into a 22 celcius room. It's been...

So I harvested the motor out of my old Bosch dryer and want to use it for powering my upcoming apple grinder so I can kick my cidermaking into high gear at the end of this summer. This is a 240v motor with 4 wires. Two brown wires coming in, and two going out to the capacitor. Also, the...

Sauna, my storage place for all sorts of junk. Except when I want to go to Sauna - then I need to empty it! A basket full of birch and my brewing thermometer hanging on the wall. And the heart of the Sauna - the wood burning stove. In Finnish, the sauna's stove is called a "kiuas"...

We are having our electric redone in order to support, among other things, my brewing hobby! I am designing and putting together the main panel and two sub-panels. If you are interested in how things are done here in europe, just follow the thread. I'll post some photos here soon. My feed...

It seems like I buy a new tool or three every day. Tools enable me to remodel my house and build things such as brewing space and rigs. I thought to start posting photos of my new tools just to see how quickly they are growing and encourage others to join as well. One of the 4 tools I...

2 pumps needed, shipped to Finland.

Frequently, questions arise in Homebrewtalk's cider making forum from people who are new to cider making and are uncertain how to formulate a batch. Many of these questions are repeated from time to time, so I thought I'd share some information here that will hopefully give those who are new to...

Extract brewing, for those of you who don't notice which section this is in. I have a 4 litre kettle at the moment, access to anything larger is impossible. I want to do a 20 litre batch of Dunkel. Basically, I want to know if I can sufficiently isomerise the alpha acids in my bittering hops...

are the best way to kill time I just love the old Sachsen Pils advertisements!
