Per the company's Twitter account, The Miracle Machine was a hoax. It's an ad campaign for clean water.

I just made two gallons of Welch's wine from the concord grape frozen concentrate. I need some advice on my technique. I racked the wine after 11 days to secondary when it was done fermenting and let it sit for a month in two one gallon glass carboys. I bottled it a few days ago after adding k...

Thanks for the comments. Well, this is my first batch of wine so I guess I've learned my first lesson about letting the wine clear. I have sparkolloid and bentonite on hand but didn't use any as I was kind of putting together a Welch's recipe from a few I saw online. The family crest came...

Here's a photo of one bottle from my first batch of Welch's wine that I made from the frozen concord concentrate. I'm pretty happy with the results. I ended up with 11 bottles from a 2 gallon batch.

I ferment my cider in primary for 2 weeks and then transfer it to secondary fermentation for 3 weeks.

I've found that warming up my cider even a few degrees makes a difference in how long it takes to carb. You may try warming it up to 70+.

Michelob Ultra Light Cider is 1.010, though I'm not a big fan and wouldn't buy it again.

Good luck, schwiz. I move my cider to secondary for three weeks, though I've also done two weeks. That way, I know that fermentation is finished and I won't have any bottle bombs when I add sugar to bottle prime. The downside is that I always end up with cider at 1.000, so very dry. If I had...

No matter what, I always let my cider sit in primary fermentation for two weeks. I actually don't even take gravity readings until day 14. I bottle, so it may be different if you plan to cold crash, keg, and force carb.

Does anyone know where I can find a list of the specific gravities for commercial ciders? Or, would you be willing to measure the ciders that you have on hand and post your results? I've been disappointed with how dry my ciders have been and it's partly because I'm not backsweetening anywhere...

Thanks, everyone. I'm guessing that it is undercarbed. Unfortunately I forgot to bottle one plastic soda bottle so I will have to keep trying my next batch by opening bottles. I've read that it should take about 2 weeks to carb and I found that my first batch took 4 weeks to show signs of...

Hello all- I've made a few batches of cider now, so I have a little experience but not much. I have been using the Domino Dots to carb my cider. I thought my cider was sufficiently bubbly so I refrigerated it. Now, when I take a bottle out of the fridge the cider seems to be still with no...

I realize this is an old post, but I went today to Whole Foods Market looking for the 5-gallon water bottles mentioned in the post. The price is now $21.99 and they have a handle. I didn't look at the number of the plastic, however. The 3-gallon jugs were $17.99. I decided that I'd skip it and...
