Oaked Pear Cider Experiment - in progress (w/pics)
SmokeDiver3zero replied to russki's topic in Basic Recipes
Is the gallon consentrate for 5 gallons? -
Agree with Russki. My ciders usually take 2 months to turn CLEAR (gotta let all that stuff settle). It looks a lot better that way. You can bottle it at 20-30 days, but trust me - clear cider is better and its all in the presentation. Cheers! :chug:

Looking for a good hard cider recipe
SmokeDiver3zero replied to JediJunkie247's topic in Basic Recipes
Just a suggestion ....and a good one. Unless you love cloves, don't use them. :chug: Cheers! -
Just be careful. Staying in dark closets too long can lead to blindness. Just stay long enough until you need glasses. :chug:

Then brew on brother....

Been there, done that ..... works fine, but it does prevent you from making more brewski's Cheers! :chug:

I tried all the old MB cider recipes and they were all pretty nasty. Here is a recipe that I have made 3 batches so far and I enjoy: 2 gal. Apple 100% juice 1 can Apple juice consentrate 1 lb. your choice DME/LME 2 1/2 cups your choice white/brown sugar 1 pk 7gr Coopers yeast. Add water to fill line on LBK Ferment 4 weeks, test one 2 months later. My ABV ranges around 9-10%, but you can adjust that with less/more sugar.

"JimH" post=354136 said:Interesting stuff happening with this. I have never used champagne yeast or known anybody who made hard cider before so I don't know what to expect. My blowoff tube is bubbling but I dont see much else for signs of fermentarion. No bubbles in the fermentor. Is this normal? Yes, this is very normal

"Deejay" post=353848 said:One more question for ya, if I wanted to lower ABV could I just cut the sugar in half? Yes

Carbing the hard cider is pretty difficult. I've been trying for over two years - no luck.

ALABAMA Homebrew legislation VOTE tomorrow
SmokeDiver3zero replied to dbrowning's topic in Mr.Beer Users' Group (MUG)
It will finally be legal to brew your own beer here in Mississippi on July, 1st. FINALLY! Last year Craft Brews with 7%+ abv was legal to sell in stores - and I have been doing some experimenting. And last month, wine and liquor was available to the city in which I live in. The closest place was Alabama or Tennessee. Look out 1900 A.D. , here we come........ :stout: -
My best cherry wheat so far for me was by doing this: 2 cans at primary 1 can at 10 days Bottled on day 18 Wait at least 2 months before sampling one. :chug:
