haha, Northern neighbors are welcome as well!

I find This interesting... When you do this could you take a picture of the valve, and how it is connected? I wonder about the amount of carbonation you will get out of this

best advice in the whole thread ;)

aight, I just have cascade and gonna go with half an ounce for a week in secondary. Don't wanna overpower it

... preferably Limburg into cider/beer brewing willing to exchange information and whatnot? I myself am from Heusden-Zolder near the race track.

Did you hop it in primary or secondary, also you left it about one and a half weeks in there. How much flavor did it give you?

If you are using that kind of airlock I wouldn't transfer to secondary because of oxidation risk. Just bottle it after fermentation. With a little luck it'll taste just fine. 3-4 weeks fermenting should be plenty. With 'real' equipment your results will be more predictable and controllable which...

Nice, should give some high abv alcohol! Did you just add the sugar to cold AJ because I cooked mine so the sugar completely dissolved in the AJ. My OG was 1.094 and I used 2 packages of wyeast 4021 pasteur champagne and of course nutrients. I hope it ferments out completely. Never made such...

Thx for the tips, i just made some high OG AJ, now to ferment it out and freeze it :) good thing i have a friend who is a chemist at the Stella cider factory here in Belgium so he can check the result on any 'nasties'

Could you perhaps tell me how you did this?

Glad you are having fun. Now invite some friends and impress them with your brew over a BBQ or something ;)

maybe you could use a concentrated form, like a sirup or something...

The red part: you would boil the juice until it is reduced to the juice 1 watermelon would produce? Sorry, couldn't understand it that wel :o

Haha, and you should! Me and friends regulary visit beercafés in the area some have over 300 different beers :) It's weird that homebrewing isn't that 'hot' here in Belgium, I almost live next to 'Brouwland' which is a giant store with brewing equipment. anyways thanks for the welcome!

So the blackcurrant one has been altered to 'Carrefour Bio Blackcurrant, Elderberry, strawberry' I had hoped the strawberry wouldn't overpower in flavor and I wasn't dissapointed after a taste :). They are currently all sitting in primary. I expect the third one to kick off in about 12-24 hours...

Or You can sweeten with non fermentable sugars like candarel, lactose(not real sweet, but takes of the edge) or perhaps stevia (no experience with that one though)

As long as it tastes good! Really? I thought the exact opposite. Maybe I'll try going for it after these batches.

Hi, 24 years old ICT student with interests in photography, music, brewing and gaming. Been on here since 2011 and made only one, yet successful, batch of hard cider. Currently I am trying some new things (In this thread) Might try beer someday, we will see what time brings :)

So last year I made(first ever) 25 litres (6.6 gallons) of cider and let it ripe in secondary with medium roasted oak chips. I let it ferment out dry, then back sweetened with lactose to take of the edge and bottle carbonated with some dark cane sugar. And it was delicious but 'vanilla'... So...

Very interesting, I love unusual ideas. I will be following this one. Good luck ;)
