    If you are making this to drink right away, no need to add chemical stabilizers. That's only for those lofty enough to want to make wine sitting on a shelf for years so they can one day get bragging rights before they die.

    The reason I wanna make wine is so i can have it whenever I want with as little cost as possible. Letting it sit for 8 months won't work. LOL I'd have drank that in 15 days as soon as the bubbles stopped.

    I would think if after washing the containers if you went over the insides with a washcloth with 91% rubbing alcohol you would make sure to kill anything that will kill your yeast.

    Why siphon when you could just pour with a funnel? Is there a reason?

    • @letswineaboutit
      @letswineaboutit 23 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Because pouring through a funnel would expose the cider to too much oxygen, which is always risky business post-fermentation. Oxygen at this point will contribute to off flavors and flatten out the cider pretty quickly.

    totally awesome explanation for someone who is a novice. I have to give ya Sh*t about the "vanilla beanstalk" comment which made me laugh. vanilla beans are just vanilla bean pods, no stalk involved, just the pod of the vanilla orchid seed pod. vanilla orchid stalks might also be delicious, I'm not sure I've ever heard whether the vanilla orchids themselves are delicious or not but generally that's not what you are able to purchase, its just the pods :)

      Excellent question, and I don't know the answer. It might just be the fruit pulp and yeast that any ferment will develop - but if it is starkly white in color, I would take a second look. I'd post a picture of it on one of the homebrewing subreddits and see what they think.

      Usually the only time I can smell it is when my nose is right above the airlock, sometimes when I walk into the room if the air is still after a few days but that's very subtle. The smell is a pleasant smell that for me has a sweet clean air/ozone smell which sounds a little weird but over all its just subtle smell of the good drink your making.
