I'm interested in the ITC-310T Thanks :)

Thanks for the suggestions. Can you describe this closed container transfer process ? I was just going to rack it into another keg using regular sanitizing process.

Maybe bitter is the wrong choice of words, but it's definitely is not sweet at all and maybe slight alcohol taste ? SWMBO does not like it, so must find a fix if possible. :(

Brewed a quick cider about 7 months ago, typically I stop it at about 1.010 to 1.012. Rack it and add sorbate + k meta, then add a can or 2 of frozen apple juice concentrate. Typically I bottle and let sit for 4-5 days then pasturize or store in ice cold garage. This time, instead of bottling,I...

Both glasses have a decent head, but I'm referring to co2 bubbling and coming out of solution. First pour has lots of co2 bubbling and rising to the top of the glass and second pours seem to have less and finer bubbles coming out of solution.

I don't usually pour more than 1 or 2 a night , typically, I notice the next night that once again the first our has strong carbonation and the next pour has less.

Thanks for taking the time, yes subsequent pours are like the second and not the first. Just to be clear tho, the first pour is not extra foamy like from an unbalanced system. It's got a good head and the glass is full of bubbles rising. Second and subsequent glasses have a smaller head and far...

Hey guys, I'm new to kegging and am working through most of my set up problems. Right now I've got 3 pin locks connected to picnic taps with 5 ft lines, in a dedicated beer fridge and a 20lb co2 tank.I tend to like my beers heavily carbed, around 3-3.25. I've got a keg full of cider and its...

Got a question for the guys that are kegging this great cider. I'm used to bottling this cider, and I follow the original direction pretty much such as racking the cider at 1.08- 1.010 and adding 3 cans faj and the syrop. This being my first time kegging the cider, do I follow the same plan, ie...

Thanks for the reply. took your advice and pulled a pint of cider out. Checked s.g. it was .998. Then added 2 oz of sugar as suggested and checked the s.g. again , it was 1.038. So now I poured the cider into a 600ml bottle with a air lock and we keep an eye on it for visible signs of any...

Does anyone know what the s.g. is at bottling time for this cider ? i.e if you bottle when the s.g. hit 1.010-1.015 as suggested and add the caramel syrup & 3 cans of frozen apple juice concentrate.

anyone ? I guess I will just add a 1/2 pack of EC-1118 yeast and my sugars and hope it carbonates.

I've made about 6 batches of cider to date. Always with Rougemont apple juice from Costco. Simple process of fermenting down to 1.010 adding some caramel syrup and back sweetening with 3 cans of frozen apple concentrate. Wait 4-5 days to carb and either bottle pasteurize or store in the fridge...

I'm ready to run this brew today, but was unable to find the Simply Limeade. Found some Simply Lemonade but thought the flavor profile would change too much. Then I found some frozen limeade concentrate that claims its has no preservatives & no artificial flavors. Does anyone have any experience...

Well these were my results: it took 5 days to carb up. Pasteurized @ 190 for 10 minutes. Lost 2 bottles total out of 31, one had the bottom of the bottle fall off in the pot, the second one exploded in he pot. So not that bad. I taste tested the 2 500ml pet bottles and found the cider not as...

Any news on this ? curious minds want to know ! :D thanks

Well I'm bottling another attempt at this. On my first attempt I followed the instructions, bottled at 1.010-1.014 with 3 cans frozen apple juice and the syrup. After about 1 .5 days I had a gyser when checking the carb.too late to pasteurize, so the batch went into the cold garage over the...

So, about 1 1/2 days later, felt a a pet bottle nice and hard, popped open a glass bottle and had a geyser. I was set to do pasteurization this morning but I guess that's out now. Do I have any other options ? Thinking of putting the batch in the garage to cold crash so bottles don't explode...

Had to ask one more thing, since the fermentation wasn't finished, how would you differentiate between the the plastic bottles getting hard from ongoing fermentation finishing or the bottle actually carbing up ? :drunk:

Thanks for the reply. I did bottle 2 500ml PET bottles and 1 330ml Corona clear glass bottle to help check carb levels. I figured the plastic one should be good and hard and the clear on will let me see whats happening inside. The balance was bottled in regular 650ml brown crown cap bottles...
