That is a very nice presentation, your cider looks really good. Mine seems to be coming out cloudy, but that is probably a direct result of using fresh pressed, unfiltered juice without any clarifying agents, and that is OK.Just put the finishing touches on some hard cider.
That is fresh pressed apple juice. You need to put some pectin in before the yeast.That is a very nice presentation, your cider looks really good.

Given lemons, make lemonade. Way to stick to it, and make the best of the situation.Bottled cream ale tonight, Drew Beechum's Genny Cream clone. The White Lab yeast failed me so 2 heaping soup spoons of some month old Voss slurry and 12 hours later we had krausen....so now it's Genny Kveik!

Have you gotten your butt off the couch?Brew day! Once I get my butt off the couch
Good work. I thought you were not going to be brewing for a while, so something must have changed.Butt up and yeast pitched. Now I clean up. Sitting at 58 degrees. Will come down a few before fermentation kicks off.
I wasn’t but figured I would.Good work. I thought you were not going to be brewing for a while, so something must have changed.
Ben, that's the most adorable little mash tun I've seen so far! Perfect for those one pint batches I guess.Sample of wanna be Wheat smell right clove and subtle bannan on the nose and some fruit from the hops I think the hops are overshadowing the yeasts esters though...View attachment 27415
Kilning some Rice Malt lower this time around 90c for lighter colour and see if it gives a better head on my next rice lager.

Will be cool to see if this enzyme does break down that pectin from the fruit!Today I went to lhbs and picked up grains, hops and yeast to brew my Vienna Garage Lager. I also picked up some pectic enzyme for the next batch of cider. Thursday we will drive to the country to pick up some fresh pressed juice. The orchard will be pressing juice tomorrow, so we’ll be getting some good fresh product.
In addition to improving the clarity, it is supposed to unlock a little more juice, as well as liberate some of the aroma and flavor compounds. If it works, my cider will be better than it already is. I too look forward to seeing how it works. You know I will share results.Will be cool to see if this enzyme does break down that pectin from the fruit!
