Hi Im new to cider making and have a simple question. 
I see most of the cider recipes are 8%, is there anyway to crank it up to 
15 or 20% 

thanks   wags@golden.net

Hi all I just found this list and have a couple of questions. 

I have 6gl of fresh local cider SG 1.050 with out adding any sugar. 
I sulfited to 50ppm and added pectic enzime. I am going to pitch some 
Wyeast #3056 from harvested from a batch of Wheat I just racked to 
secondary.  I plan to siphon off some of the cider befor pitching the 
yeast, and hold it till fermantion is compleat then add it back befor 
bottling to sweeten the cider.  Question 1; How much of the cider should I 
hold back so that when it ferments out to very dry I can raise the gravity 
to 1.002 or 1.005 knowing that the cider is now 1.050?  Question 2; Do I 
have to wait for Malto Lactic fermentation to compleat befor adding the 
cider or does MLF only convert Maltic acid to Lactic acid in? 

Thanks Dan

Another source for malolactic cultures is Wyeast Laboratories, located  
 in Oregon.  Most home beer making supply stores stock their yeast  
 cultures, and will probably order malolactic  cultures upon request.

The phone number is incorrect- the real number is 413 624 3325.  And 
Pine Hill Orchards is in Colrain, Massachusetts, the northwest corner of 
the state.  Sorry.

Concerning freezing and skimming ice until ambiance reaches 0 degrees:  A great 
idea that should make some potent rocket fuel---but illegal.  It's my 
understanding that unlicensed brewers/vintners, etc., such as us are prohibited 
by Federal law from concentrating our product in any way, such as distilling or 
freezing and removing the ice.  Of course, what you do is your business, but be 
careful about posting it. 

If I am mistaken about this, I'd be happy to hear so.  Some of my cysers and 
meads would be great in a more concentrated form. 

Never Thirst, 

Dione
