Last time I wanted Star San I went to Amazon and suddenly it couldn't be 'shipped to my location'. I thought I saw a few others elsewhere with the same problem. I found done on eBay, no problem. Couple dollarsore and extra packaging to insure no leakage as that was the excuse given for Amazon...

Just curious. I use StarSan. After making a batch in my sink for doing a big rinse for bottling and making a new batch, I usually take off some into a bowl/bucket. As long as I use it just to rinse and not clean, how long could it last?

Before I found this site, I just used somebody's links to buy some of the 'stuff' I/we use for cider. Now after cruising this site, I've found that there's a few variants for some of these ingredients. The nutrient I ended up with is (and I'll massacre the spelling) Dimonium Phoshphate. Is...

In my travels about this site, I've seen plenty of folks talk about tossing their cider on the yeast cake from either a batch of beer or even one of cider. My question is, do you need any more nutrient and/or pectic enzyme if you usually use these things?

Two ciders, both with 3q Great Value Apple juice to start. I use 12 oz swing tops. Maybe just a story of two yeasts. One: 1 cup sugar, 1/2 tsp Pectic, 1 tsp Nutrient, 2 grams S-04 OG 1.065, FG 1.02 bottled with 16 oz of juice and 2 Tbsp+1tsp sugar. Twelve days later they finally reached 28...

So real quick, I started some cider with Nottingham a week ago Saturday. With EC-1118 it will still be cloudy after week one, but clear pretty much by the end of week two. With S-04, well, it clears real fast. I use pectic enzyme on all my batches. This is with store bought juice. It did...

So yes, another stinking carbonation question, sorry. In the sticky for pasteurization, @Maylar showed off some gauges to install in the lid of your plastic test bottle, way cool. I have googled a few force carbonating charts and seen the one that Maylar posted in another carb thread here...

Hi there. I was hoping to make a better first post, but here goes. I've been lurking a bit and on my 5th batch of cider from store bought juice. I've usually added the pectic enzyme at the same time as sugar, nutrient and hydrated yeast. I'm still going through the pasteurization thread...
