Finished my ‘try and see’ cider batch. Three kinds of apples from the yard, juiced at the juicers, plus a homeopathic 22 g/L pale ale malt. Fermented to fully dry in 17 days at 14 C and 1,8 bar. After that a couple days at 2,5 C to clear it out. Plenty of forced carbonation. Came out a bit mild, like a dry white wine, but that made it easy to drink. Gave most of it away in 3 L bags, because I want to get the vessel empty and get a beer going.

Lesson learned: much more acidic apples next time, and the malt wort needs to be as concentrated as possible so it doesn’t dilute the apple juice.

Now is proper.

Couldn’t help myself, a little bit of malt went in along with a helping of dark syrup, to the effect of 2 ml syrup per litre of ol’ scrumpadillo. Very lively fermentation already on day 6 (at 16 °C). Wishing you the best of luck with yours :)

I too did the juicing station run last week. First attempt at cider forthcoming. I’ll try a malted cider with 1/6 of the malt I use for beer. That should provide the yeast with healthy nutrition.

This! Made nice labels for the first few batches but surely it’s better to keep it craft and sharpie on 😁

nice produce OP!

same! came to say that this was the last windows I ever installed.

I recall a tool that might have been called Ramme did this. Used it when I deleted my IG account a long while back.

not entirely answering the question, but hot tip: one can screen the grain to remove the finest flour. adds a bit of labour but i find it’s not too bad. this is craft brewing after all 😄

Can’t recommend any, I learned by trial and error on the Amiga circa 1989 :D

Renoise does come with a bunch of tutorial modules and surely there is some good learning material on Youtube.

FastTracker II and a bunch of samples.

Thanks a lot! Remains to be seen what ends up in the brew, might be a sensible move to make the first red without any exotic vegetables to get a feel for the grains.

I hope the label didn’t draw too much bad blood stateside. It’s all a meme halfway round the globe, y’all.

That’s the vibe I was shooting for XD

perfect. there’s yet more in the parent directory.
