    Cider ready and... mold

    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!

    Easy Stove-Top Pasteurizing - With Pics

    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?

    Bottling day coming up!

    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.

    Cider friendly apps

    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 :)

    Hops candy

    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.

    Hops candy

    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)

    Hops candy

    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?

    Caramel Apple Hard Cider

    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!

    Bottling day coming up!

    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...

    Ready to bottle?

    I'm confused about your metaphor but yeah ima wait for the cran. I'm pretty certain. The other is done fermenting as before it broke I was getting a reading of 1.000 FG . But it's been sitting for 2 weeks now in secondary after nearly 3 in primary . The cran apple took a good week to fully come...

    Ready to bottle?

    I don't know how much it will clear anyways as I had simmered some cinnamon (that I probably won't even taste) with some of the cider before campden/pitching. My hydrometer was taken by gravity and the floor in the worst conspiracy to date

    Ready to bottle?

    Included is the picture of both my carboys. I wanted to bottle the cran apple one but it seems like it may not be ready. There are still coming to the top as you can see and based on the position of both air locks (for you) and I can still see bubbles coming every 10-15 seconds or so, it's still...
