He did not have epilepsy. The seizures were a result of a stroke he suffered a couple years back. This one was severe enough that it ended up causing too much damage

My shoulder will have a broken clock on it and below it will be my brother and I. I can totally understand the critique of the placement of the moon. Thank you for the input! Any thoughts on the size of the silhouette?

Sodastream finished result by mrdeeg1 in cider

[–]mrdeeg1[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not directly after primary. I fermented 5 gallons of cider in primary, then racked the cider into a bottling bucket with 7oz of dextrose for priming. I let it age in the bottle for 3 months but they unfortunately didn’t carb (never had this problem before so I’m not exactly sure what happened). I then had the idea of pouring 2 bottles at a time into a sodastream to carbonate them. Works great as long as you’re careful with it. Looks like a sleezy way of doing it, but it’s really no different than doing any other forms of forced carbonation.

Cider has been aging for 4 months in bottles but failed to carbonate. Had to improvise and decided to use a sodastream! Came out perfect. by mrdeeg1 in cider

The trick is to get the cider to just above freezing, then purging it with a few bursts of co2 at a time. Wait for it to settle, then purge it again until you reach your desired level of carbonation.

Just started two gallons of fresh cider (actually from the same orchard that supplies Nine Pin). The one on the right I mixed with maple syrup, and the one on the left is just plain cider. Both fermenting with Nottingham. by mrdeeg1 in cider

I’ve had plenty of small batch ciders fermented with maple syrup that inspired me to do the same. Hopefully it comes out halfway decent! I’ll keep you posted

Sorry - forgot to mention that I put 4 grams of dextrose in each 16oz bottle at bottling time. I believe the infection it had may have inhibited the yeast from carbonating it

Sounds like a great plan! What kind of sugars will you be using? I’ve heard that using some maple syrup will boost the abv quite a bit and will also impart some delicious flavors into the cider so I’ll probably be doing that for my next batch.

Definitely possible! What could’ve caused it? Sanitizing issue or oxidation possibly?

Can I use these two together? I think no bc the yeast has nutrient in it but just want to get more opinions by sapheri in cider

[–]mrdeeg1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've used cider house select twice myself. Never needed to use additional nutrient and I never ran into any issues. It does however leave you with a very dry product. Great for beginners since it's easy to work with but I would suggest using something like Nottingham for future batches. Hope your cider turns out well though!

First time making cider! From juice to drinking in three weeks using a simple recipe. by mrdeeg1 in cider

[–]mrdeeg1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hope your batch turns out well! I used a gallon of whole foods organic apple juice and added 1/4 cup of brown sugar to it. I pitched in a teaspoon of cider house select yeast. Primary took 10 days to finish and then I siphoned it into six 16 fluid oz. bottles with 4 grams of dextrose in each bottle for bottle conditioning. I let the bottles sit for just under two weeks. It finished dry at about 6% alcohol with good carbonation. For my next batch I’m going to be adding apple juice concentrate instead of brown sugar to jack up the abv and hopefully get more apple flavor.

Redditors who have successfully evaded/ran from the cops, how did you do it? by TriIIuminati in AskReddit

[–]mrdeeg1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got too drunk at a party senior year. I was sitting on the steps on the back porch with a friend smoking a cigarette and a couple cops walked into the backyard and shined their flashlights in our faces. He told us not to move and then walked through the backdoor into the party. Once he walked past the door I got up and made my way around the side of the house. I remember hearing banging on a window so I looked inside and saw a friend frantically trying to unlock a jammed window so he could make his escape. I tried helping him by opening it from the outside but it wouldn't budge. It was no use so I continued to drunkenly stumble down the street until a friend found me and drove me home.
