    New filter cartridge?

    Haha it does doesn't it Yeah well you might have made the decision. It says it was listed in 2006 and I don't know how accurate their website is. Not to say that it's not, I just don't know.

    Cider Yeast?

    Haha glad to see that I inspired some others! Mine's the same I wanted to keep it as simple as possible. The OG of the juice was 1.040 so I put about 200-300g of dextrose in there as well. I ended up getting a 4766 in the end because I'm culturing some up to put in test tubes, but regardless...

    how to make a sweeter cider?

    Has anybody tried using artificial sweetners such as splenda or the like? I don't think you'd need a whole lot of sweetening to just bring it back from 'dry' and it would also then contain less sugar?

    Cider Yeast?

    Okay well unless anyone else speaks up (please do if you have something to say!) I guess I'll give it a shot. $20 isn't much for a gamble really although it will use up my valuable fermenter space!

    Cider Yeast?

    Infected yeast starter....?

    The best thing you can do for your yeast starters IMO is get a borosilicate flask. They're pretty cheap online. Erlenmeyer or similar brand is what you're after. The advantage is that you can put them directly on your stove, put in some water and malt, and put some tin foil on the top. Once...

    Infected yeast starter....?

    Was it just the lid or was there some in the actual culture? Did you remember to steralise the lid? Don't waste a beer on finding out anyway...
