I checked the gravity this afternoon &b this evening. The 2
wild/cultured yeast batches were about 1.40 and the wild yeast
about the same. That should be enough sugar to continue the
fermentation for a wee while. The wild yeast batch has started
bubbling away today quite quickly. I will monitor its progress
over the next few days. One jug of wild/cultured yeast has
started fermenting again after I pitched in some extra yeast,
the other jug has not gotten started yet. The jug of sulphited &
cultured yeast has not started fermenting yet but I only yeasted
last night. Given the gravity, the problem may have been with
the yeast.


what are your fermenting temperatures?

I should have checked the gravity on the sunday but only buying
a hydrometer on Monday kind of made that difficult. On well.
Maybe the 'close enough' rule of thumb is a little bit arbitary
eh.


i hope you bought more than *one* hydrometer. they break very
easily & usually exactly when you really *need* one.


temperature is roughly room temperature. We have been having shitey muggy
weather of around 27-30 but with high humidity. That may be something to
do with the yeast being lazy. Who knows. The muggy weather is due to blow
away tomorrow onward & become sunny again. Will see if that makes a
difference. I the interim I have added some more yeast tonight. If nothing
again I will give it a good stir in a day or 2, maybe invert the bottle a
few times. Gravity is reading around 140 for all 4 bottles so no lack of
sugar. The hydrometer is not duff as it read 1000 in a bottle of tap
water.


re yeasted the cider 18 hours ago and it is bubbling away nicely. The wank
muggy weather has blown away for cooler temperatures. Wonder if the two
incidents are somehow connected or just coincidence.

Any of yous tried making cider before?

This weekend just gone I got about making up some cider. 3 days of work
yielded 22 litres. An interesting experience but one I am going to have to
stream line if I do it next time around.

The apples were free, scavenged from a few trees round the neighbourhood.

Cleaning them was no problem, dunking in a big tub.

Cutting them up and cutting out the odd bad bit or bug was laborious. I
did
have some help at one stage which speeded things up a bit.

Shredding the apple pieces in a kitchen whizz was also time consuming. Its
gets easier the longer you go on. But. If done every year I reckon I will
have to make some sort of apple scratterer.


Check this, Rob.

yes, thanks Charlie, I had a shufti through that. I have been reading the
threads for the past couple weeks after you pointed it out. The cider has
boomed this last week following a spell of cooler weather. Amazing the
difference humidity made to stalling the fermentation. The airlocks are just
starting to slow down. I am planning on laying down another batch this
weekend. I have streamlined the process a little and made some improvements
to the pressing process so that should go better.

This thread had me ****ing myself laughing

Well worth the read. A guys attempt to clean up a home brew spill on some
new carpet whilst his wife is away. Some highlights but some bloody funny
humour in the thread.

"It sounds to me like a good steam cleaning is in order."
"Oh, He's gonna get steam cleaned all right!"
"Dude...Are you alive? Did you wife kill you?"
"If we don't hear something soon, I guess I'll drive down to Maryland in the
spring and look over the brewing equipment at the yard sale she is having!"
"Long story short, he had NO IDEA what I was talking about. He wasn't the
guy I talked to on the phone. Apparently the dude on the phone wasn't the
owner of this fine carpet cleaning establishment, but the dude in my
house... yep, he was. To answer the questions, no friends, he did not think
it was cool for me to pay him a discounted price for homebrew, and he did
not appreciate what his employee had agreed to at all."
"Crap. So I ask him how much he wants for this job, and he wants $100.
Double crap. Well, I decided that I didn't want to pay that much, and he was
none too happy about having to drag his equipment out of my basement after
that."

Yeah, but it makes your house smell funky.

Anyway, have you seen (and this seems like a silly question) the
article in Wikipedia on "Home Brewing Beer",
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homebrewing_beer ?

Under Packaging (?):
Packaging
Another fermentation vessel with fermentation lock, used for the second
fermentation

Once the secondary fermentation is finished, the beer is ready for
carbonation. There are two methods of carbonation. The first method does
not require much capital expenditure per batch but is more time
consuming. About 3/4 cup of corn sugar (dextrose) or other fermentable
sugar is added to the beer, which is then transferred to bottles and
then capped, or placed in a keg. The fermentation of the priming sugar
in the closed container by left-over yeast suspended in the beer creates
carbon dioxide which then dissolves into the beer. This takes 1-2 weeks.
The second method involves pressurizing carbon dioxide into the beer
into a special type of keg - either a Cornelius keg, the kind used in
restaurants for soda storage, or a pressure barrel. Canisters of carbon
dioxide, or soda chargers, can be released into the pressure barrel
directly. The carbonation process then occurs almost instantaneously.

off reading this thread. Great humor, some really funny guys and I

Thanks for making an otherwise dull day full of laughter.


that guy thinks he has problems. Sarcastic cackle.

I am making my second batch of cider this weekend.

1/2 the apples were harvested Monday and have been sitting softening a few
days. They were cut friday night. No problems.

The second 1/2 were scrumped off a neighbours tree in exchange for a regular
supply of tomatos, some corn other veges etc. They are at home now. Thats no
problem.

Mulching the first batch was not so bad. A couple of interuptions through
the day slowed things down but they got done.

An old plastic chopping board got cut down to use as the press plate on my
apple jig. It works better than the wooden board, as it won't suck up juice.
2 plastic boards will be better. An old spare I have will be cut to size
tomorrow.

So, all ok there eh. Yup, good and fine you say. Snort.

Bloody press frame broke AGAIN. 4th time. The wood cost be stuff all. The
nails and screws and gangnails must be a small fortune. Once again I bodged
it back in to place for some pressing. Next time it goes it will be done for
I think.

Mate lent me a fermenting bucket. Cool.

Drove round to pick it up. Stopped at intersection. 4 wheel drive ute ahead
of me. He pulls off, I follow, he jams on breaks, I go in to his arse. Him,
ok, metal chassis. Me, not ok. Dent in front panel and fold in bonnet.
Company car. *$^&#*#&*$*$((*$**$(*(*()(()$(*()*())@@)@+@+_$*(&* (~_

Get round to mates place. Heres the bucket. Can't find lid though. Search
again. No lid. Shite. Will have to go and see if I can buy one on monday.

juiced about 12 litres of juice. Put in bucket. Sulphited. Put towel across
top to cover and will juice more tomorrow. Can comes inside. Jump on
freezer. Jumps of freezer into fermenting barrell. Towel soaked with apple
juice. Juice on floor. 1o litres left now.

Give me beer on carpet anyday.

rob

am now making tomato sauce. Hope thats turns out better.

Oh Lord, sorry mate......your misfortune has been my merriment!!

Company car sucks too. Been there also. Company business, of course,
with a side trip.



Boss "How did you dent the car, George?"
George "um, er, making cider, us Boss".
Boss "Do you want to keep your job?"


Many times my "latest project" has caused similar consternation and
effups, Glad to see you are already on the road to upgrades and
improvements.

You have a cat named "*!%*&%#@ cat" also!

The sumbitch cat that runs this household last summer managed to jump
off the fence into a half full bucket of old cooking oil (that Lovey
had several times reminded me to get rid of the week prior) and then
"*!%*&%#@ cat" ran in the effing house and dripped that shit
everywhere.

I had never given a cat a bath before and "*!%*&%#@ cat" had never had
one either.

Sigh......whadda ya do. ;-)



Did I also mention whilst cleaning up last night I stuffed the kitchen
whizz. Put the mixing bowl in a hot wash in the dish washer. ******* think
came out warped.

Wife wasn't impressed. On way home from store this morning, having bought
replacement, she asked me how many I had stuffed that way. Only 2 I told
her. Asked her how many ipods she had broken (2 or 3 is the answer). In as
many words got told where to go. Spent morning outside chopping apples. Used
new kitchen whizz this afternoon, much better than old one. heaps faster and
quieter. Decided buggering old whizz had some advantages.

Tomorrow, go and try and buy bucket for fermenting barrell and stop by panel
beater for quote.

Probably about $50 per litre of cider thus far.

Tomorrow, go and try and buy bucket for fermenting barrell and stop by
panel
beater for quote.


Oh shit, this means another talk with the Boss!!

Probably about $50 per litre of cider thus far.


man, you're on a roll with this project. Been there, done that and
really getting laughs from your troubles.


laughs? snort.

Did I also mention whilst cleaning up last night I stuffed the kitchen
whizz. Put the mixing bowl in a hot wash in the dish washer. *******
think
came out warped.

Wife wasn't impressed. On way home from store this morning, having bought
replacement, she asked me how many I had stuffed that way. Only 2 I told
her. Asked her how many ipods she had broken (2 or 3 is the answer). In
as
many words got told where to go.


Good lord, man........what a rookie move. You've gotta pay for this,
you know.

Spent morning outside chopping apples.


Spent or.....sent?

Used
new kitchen whizz this afternoon, much better than old one. heaps faster
and
quieter. Decided buggering old whizz had some advantages.

Damn straight, mate. It was *definitely* his fault you were where you
were when you stuck your nose up the ute's arse. Doesn't the bloody
******* realize the immediacy of a man's needs when on roundup for a
new project?


exactly, *******. Thats showed him.
