    What are old Chebbie trucks good for? - Haulin' stuff!

     Gotta love the old Chevy's. Here's one I'm dying to spend some time on. As far as Ive gotten so far is to ditch them uggly azz rims, tuner her up and replace the carb. 59 Apache with a healthy 327, gear drive set up and a T-5 transmission. Fun as all get out light to light. Runs out breath real...

    Christmas Tree is already up????

    I tell my wife every year, ya might just as well cancel Thanksgiving. Last couple years you'd have to throw Halloweeen in that threat as well. Dang shopping mall already has tree lit and Santa sitting there. Doesn't anyone remember the Pilgrims? 12 days of Christmas my culo...as commercial as...

    Hard Cider

    My apologies, Jeep is right, that certainly can happen. I am definitely wrong here. I have never had it happen, but than again (I may have mentioned before) I don't bottle. Cold crashing, suspends the fermentation...it does not totally kill the reaction off, it also helps clarify (clear) the cider.

    Hard Cider

    Cold Crashing is putting your cider into the fridge or outside on a cold night to kill off any remaining yeast. Mostly used when you dont use a hydrometer to track when your carbonation as quit. It's kind of a safety net for beginner that could have bottled before all the fermenting is done. It...

    Hard Cider

    After re-reading the original post, it very well could be when the sugar is being added as well. If corn sugar is being added during the initial fermentation most of it is being eaten by the yeast to produce the alcohol and very little is left for sweetening. I have no experience using corn...

    Hard Cider

    I have not tried the mead yeast myself either BUT, that sounds like a heck of an idea seeing how I like to use honey as a sweetener. As far as killing off the yeast, I have never pasteurized or hit mine with any additives, with that said though, I have a barn that I keep mine in after secondary...

    Hard Cider

    Link, If you'd like to PM me, I can send you a couple links for basic recipes. Honestly though it's about the easiest thing in the world to ferment. The favorite way for me is to take two 5 gallon carboys (5 gallon water jugs that go on the water coolers in offices). Fill one with fresh pressed...

    Hard Cider

    If I were a betting man (and I am) I'd lay odds the yeast is the culprit here. I have a 5 gallon batch going now with Pasteur Champagne Yeast. If everything works the way it's supposed to, I should end up with an Alcohol Content of about 17-18%.

    Hard Cider

    I make cider every year. I keg it in Cornies....because bottling sucks. Two questions...what kind of apples are you using and what kind of yeast are you using? Not all apples are created equal when making cider, and the easiest and friendliest yeast to use is plain old champagne yeast.
