    Time for apple cider :)

    That right there is your culprit. The recipe you saw usually calls for Nottingham which is a clean finishing ale yeast. All different varieties will do different things. Take the same juice, use five yeasts, have five different flavors. Montrachet seems like a great choice, but it imparts what...

    Apple Cider Question ?

    Just so you are aware that what you are going to end with is not what a finished cider tastes like. You can add all kinds of stuff at bottle time, like regular cinnamon. I personally dont like cinnamon in mine, maybe a liquor like fireball would be better. Try some different yeasts also, they...

    Easy Peanut Butter Pie

    You can garnish it with grated choc if you want, not necessary. The last one we made we had no traditional choc so took an m&m and ran it over a zester.

    Easy Peanut Butter Pie

    We'll be having it too! Definitely let the forum know what you think. Its one of my favs. Made it with blended strawberries once, I liked it but it had much more water content and froze almost solid.

    Apple Cider Question ?

    When did you start that cider? I expect that if you used this years cider its gonna taste down right disgusting. It needs time. Most guys say their ciders are barely even drinkable to them, let alone others for 12 months. Take those wine bottles, cork them and put it in a cold dark area for a...

    Apple Cider Question ?

    The best way to carb a cider is let it ferment completely out, back sweeten it, put it in a keg and force carb it. Keep it cold and drink it. Most ciders will not develop fully until at least 12 months after brewing them.

    Apple Cider Question ?

    You gonna bottle it still or bottle conditioned? Ive done both. If youre going to bottle condition you will have to pasteurize to avoid bottle bombs. Youll need to check it every day, cause it can carb up quick. Ive found I dont care for wine yeast, I like a beer yeast, nottingham to be exact...

    LOL, thats one thing I always pride my house on is that if youre hungry, you must not be too hungry. Other than the cooking and wild game I keep our house packed full of food. Its the first bill that gets paid bi-weekly. If you cant eat, you cant afford to watch tv.
