Talon,

Not sure I can drink that much apple juice by November 6th!

Well, it was worth a shot... You don't happen to have a 5 gallon carboy, do you? And a gallon of extra honey? You could always make a cyser... *grins*
 
Talon,

I wouldn't waste good honey on the supposed apple juice they put in those glass gallon jugs...

It has absolutely no comparison to the fresh stuff I get from my friend...
 
Hydrometers arrived in the mail today. I still need glass and stoppers but I'll get that taken care of...

Someone pick the starting SG...

I would suggest something capable of 15 to 16 ABV so everything can go to completion and still be a little sweet....
 
First, I broke down and ordered my jugs and plugs from Leener's last night. I should be ready mid-next week. Maybe we shoot for next weekend as our start?

Second, I would suggest just a tad higher SG than 1.115 since a couple of the yeasts we have selected are supposedly good to 15 percent and I'd like to see us shoot for a minimum 1.010 FG for the most active yeast so the stuff isn't too dry...

Other thoughts?
