mead racking

this is what my first batch of mead looked like after 1 month. time to rack it. i used a trimmed racking cane and two hole #6 stopper.

first batch of cider

started a batch of hard cider from one gallon of pure apple cider. I also started another batch from two 1.5 liter jugs of martinelli's apple juice. as an experiment i used wine yeast for one jug and fleichmann's bread yeast on the other.

cider vids and links

i learned how to make hard cider by watching youtube. heres some of the better videos i watched. i was mostly intersted in videos that used juice since i dont want to buy apples and juice them.
