mooklepticon,

Brown sugar at the start, mostly for fermentation. During tasting, nothing. It was still mildly sweet. The plan was to back sweeten with erythritol, but I dumped it.

maybe I should have racked my cider (files.catbox.moe)

This is my first cider. I threw in some grapes I’d frozen a while ago. I bottled directly from primary. 2 weeks in the bottle and I checked on it, saw the sludge on the left. A night in the fridge and then poured off the clear cider into one glass and the sludge into another. So much sludge. A good 15-20% of the volume. Lesson...

mooklepticon,

Decent, even the sludge! Could have used a touch more back sweetening but just barely.

mooklepticon,

Hmm. I don’t think it was the yeast. Could be, but I don’t have this much stuff when I use it in beer. shrug it was safale us05.

mooklepticon,

This was only 2 weeks in primary. How long does it take for lees to ruin it?

mooklepticon,

Idk. Everyone I saw did the cheesecloth method but I have airlock, so that’s what I used.

mooklepticon,

Haha thanks.

mooklepticon,

Bloop bloop bloop.

Why does that turtle have the remote?

mooklepticon,

Do you actually wanna discuss this or do you just want to rant at people like a jerk? I’ll gladly discuss it calmly but you’re being a total jerk.

mooklepticon,

Pressure switch in the bottom maybe?

mooklepticon,

You are insufferable, why are you even here? Never mind I won’t read your answer.

mooklepticon,

Not my model, so I can’t say. I do agree that the point should be a little more rounded.

Bottle box label (pxscdn.com)

I bottle all my beer, and I get them by de-labeling stuff I buy. However, I tend to forget what state they’re in so I designed and 3d printed my own label holder with slide in labels. Cardboard boxes hold bottles well, but they’re not see thru. Now I know! STL: www.printables.com/…/562504-hanging-sign-clips

Bottle box label (pxscdn.com)

I homebrew beer, and I get my bottles by de-labeling stuff I buy. However, I tend to forget what state they’re in so I designed my own label holder with slide in labels. Cardboard boxes hold bottles well, but they’re not see thru. Now I know! STL: www.printables.com/…/562504-hanging-sign-clips

mooklepticon,

Fusion 360. The fusion files are included in the Printables link.

mooklepticon,

I have considered swing tops but I have trouble believing that they’d hold well enough. I bottle because I don’t drink much or quickly and I want to give away stuff.

Have you used swing tops? Can you recommend them? I have some from another brewer but haven’t tried them. I could try a few next batch.

mooklepticon,

Valid question. As others have said, it’s for change ability. I do write in sharpie on the box for the box capacity and contents. However, I have 3 or 4 of these boxes and I swap around the stuff in them a lot. It’s always bottles but sometimes the box is full, sometimes not. Some bottles are ready, some need de labeling. This way I know at a glance what the status of my inventory is.

mooklepticon,

De label them as you go? Not a bad idea.

Ive tried oxi clean and it works but it destroys my hands and needs rinsing off. I like baking soda. It’s weaker and gets consumed faster but it’s easier on my hands and cheap.
