That's what I was thinking. The juice tasted pretty good but I didn't want too much alcohol. Thought it would taste too much like cough syrup.

I started a new batch today. It's only a 1 gallon batch. I started with a cherry flavored apple cider and sweetened it to1.080. I used Lavlin EC-1118 and it's starting to bubble nicely. Anyone tried anything like this before? What should I expect? Any advice on what to do next?

Like the little bottles you get from the health food stores right? Not Welch's

That makes sense. Guess I'll get some juice from concentrate and just enjoy the cider. Either way I get another 1 gallon carboy out of the deal.

Thanks. But you wouldn't use the cider? I'm not really worried about the apple flavor just wanted to bump the sg up a little.

I've tried my first batch of mead and was wanting "spice" it up a bit. I was thinking of adding a little apple cider and maybe some cinnamon and allspice to give it a little more flavor. Fermentation has stopped and the sg is 1.000. I was wandering if I could put the spices in now and if so how...

Sorry that's what I meant. Looks kinda like those old galvanized wash tubs.

I only have one basket with this one. It looks like it's probably aluminum, open on both ends with holes all over. Its about 9.5 inches across and a little over 10 inches tall.

It really is a neat piece. I took it apart and started cleaning it a little today. The only thing I've seen that may tell me who made it is B36 on the top of all three legs and I guess the brand running down each leg. I can only make out the first two letters though B and A. Also the basket...

I picked up this old press today. Was just wanting to know if anyone has seen one like this before or maybe could tell me about how old it is. I plan on refinishing it, maybe sandblasting and having a buddy of mine powder coat it.

Well can any of you guys give me any guidance on recipes for this?

I believe nature's pearl is a nc based company so maybe that's why it's cheaper here.

I don't remember the price when I saw it in the store but I just looked it up on Lowe's Food online shopping and that's the price it gave

I planted 3 noble vines last fall but I only got enough grapes to fill a 1 gallon freezer bag this year. Hopefully they will be producing better next year.
