What ever you do don't drink the area 51 alien brew @ K's, unless you like paying 8 bucks a six for budweiser.

Looks like food processor and fresh apples time.

In my experience, only if it doesn't have the preservatives.

Don't expect hard cider to taste like apples. It tastes like hard cider. Somewhat harsh, maybe a little sweet, depending.

My 'cider' summer brew is doing great, moving into cooler weather. I may be asleep in a couple of hours.

I would like to try and clone the Bavarian dark lager produced by Uli Bennewitz at his Weeping Radish Brewery in North Carolina. Not interested in lagering but figure someone has come up with a pretty good home brewing recipe. Any ideas?

I took a 60 gallon apple juice barrel to the orchard and they allowed me to dump the bushels of apples, blended just the way I wanted into the cider press. I did an assortment and included a few bushel of pears. Put it in an oak barrel for secondary and it came out excellent.

The yellow delicious really finished out well in the aroma. It finished perfectly clear with no oxidation.

Just got in the kits for Pumpkin beer and Holiday Beer from Midwest. Going to see how they turn out. With the pumpkin going to get some fresh pumpkin to mix in.

Can’t remember if this was communicated before but in this huge old book (about 700 pages) contains several pages of old brewing recipes.

I just finished a Full Sail Pale Ale with a shot of bourbon to ease my aching feet after walking with a candidate for county commissioner. All brewing is taking second place to politics these days, but I wish the denizens of the brewing thread well!

It’s 6 am and I’m here waiting for sunrise to start a double batch day.

First up, an Octoberfest and batch 2 is going to be a hoppy pale ale using my homegrown hops.

It’s going to be a long brew day....

Cheers,
