    Apple Cider ?

Apple juice, 1 packet of Lalvin EC-1118, 2 lbs. of sugar ( which i`ve settled on the raw sugar ). Now, this recipe is drinkable after 2 weeks. I tried it at first with the recommended 2 lbs. of...

    Water and Yeast amount

    I`m working on a few 1-gal batches and was wondering how much yeast I should be using per gal. Also, do most of you use just tap water or something else.

    fermenting in hot climates
