Last night, I was just going over my bottling game plan for 5 gallons of brown ale and 5 of a 2 Hearted Ale clone and just getting that daunting feeling of how long it's going to take made me start thinking of a way to make it faster. I began brainstorming how to automate some of the process...

I'm heading back up to my home state of Michigan for a weeklong visit. It's getting to be about that time whete I start my cider batches and experimentations. I'll be in both the Detroit area and Kalamazoo. Does anybody know if any local cider is selling yet in either area?

Anyone tried adding DME in cider instead of sugar, brown sugar, honey? How does it taste?
