Sorry, standard supermarket bag is 12 oz, so 60 - 72 or so ounces.

Yeast and Fermentation / Re: cider scare?

The warm temp may have something to do with it. IME, cotes does not create a pellicle. Check the gravity, see if it's finished, transfer to cold under the pellicle, serve.

Rinse, freeze, chop in food processor when ready. the freezing will break the cell walls and make the chopping easier. No need to cook. I estimate you will need 5-6 bags of whole berries.

Planning on brewing an IPA at the SBL Teach A Friend to Homebrew Day at the Savannah Homebrew shop. Not yet settled on the specifics. Leaning towards an all Nelson.

Wood/Casks / Re: Charring oak cubes
« on: October 26, 2012, 07:55:43 AM »The oak I got was a raw white oak board from a specialty lumber shop, not a big box place. It was untreated.
I don't use it directly in beer, I soak it in liquor and then use the liquor itself. it takes the guess work out of adding it.
You want to make sure that is not red oak, like the type used in flooring. White oak is fine.

Metalic could be a sanitation issue. Suflur will drop with age. Let it sit thru Feb/March.

Other Fermentables / Re: Sulfur aroma in cider
« on: October 15, 2012, 08:34:22 AM »
Was the cider sulfited? I've gotten sulfur from sulfiting the cider. You also may be getting some aroma from the yeast which T-58 will throw off peppery and spicy notes that you are interpreting as sufur. Age it to let the sufur drop out. As to the finished product, you did well with getting the cider dry and keeping the apple notes. Good job!

Check out the disconnects at Mc Master. They are the coolant line ones and are pass thru, so you would need them in cojunction with a valve. I'll get the model numbers later.
