    Dude, we can see the liquid backflowing in your hose as your connector valve is faulty and the pressure in hose is lost every time you disconnect it. Keeping up the supply pressure and having it connected while shaking and simply disconnecting when gas flow reduces is a better option to prevent backflow.

      I don't know if there is a limit to how long you can age but the fermenter must have very little headspace and an airlock at all times. One issue people run into is they forget to check the airlock and it dries up, then contaminates get in.

      They're all on Amazon for about $110 total, and they're all standardized sizes. Regulators have a standard diameter to attach to the CO2 tank output. The hose has a standard diameter to attach to the regulator's output. CO2 quick connect adaptors have a standard diameter to attach to the male end of the 2L bottle adaptor.

    This is great, I'd been thinking about a carbonation cap for my home brew beer but thought i'd need to leave it for a day or two. Giving it a few shakes is much better, I can do a whole batch of beer (10x2 litre bottles) in one go. Like you i'm limited for space so was looking for a solution that didn't need a keg. This is perfect.

    I just picked up a carb cap the other day before watching this video. And I'm curious is it difficult for you to attach your ball lock to the cap? For some reason mine seems to be a bit snug and find myself having to force it which doesn't seem right (doing this often is a tad annoying when you're making a lot of seltzer and not a homebrew). Looking for advice/opinions. Cheers

    can you tell me more about making a sweet cider without back sweetening? its all about the OG and FG right, start at with a OG of say 1050 and finish with a FG of 1020? if you want say 5% to 6% sweet apple cider?

    • @homecidermaking7360
      @homecidermaking7360 5 лет назад

      It's really more about the yeast. If you start with 1.050 SG, most strains of yeast will be able to take that to 1.000 SG if you don't intervene. The only time yeast will stop on its own would be if you maxed out its alcohol tolerance, generally 8-14% ABV but this is even a guessing game sometimes. 1.050 OG to 1.020 FG would result in about 4% ABV but to achieve this you would have to inhibit or remove the yeast to stop fermentation. But, killing yeast during active fermentation is very hard. The better solution is to ferment to dry or about 1.000 SG, stabilize the cider and then back sweeten to your desired sweetness.

    Now I don't know much about brewing yet, but I know a bit about chemistry. The ability of a liquid to dissolve a gas within itself is temperature dependent; colder liquid can hold more gas. Wouldn't it be more efficacious to do this with the cider chilled?

    • @DJChrisBeee
      @DJChrisBeee 5 лет назад

      Indeed.. colder liquids will absorb the co2 quicker/more efficiently.

    • @TakeItEazy77
      @TakeItEazy77 3 года назад

      Super late reply, but yes. Standard practice is to chill to 32-35F then use a CO2 volume/solubility chart. When I worked in a brewery we usually aimed for 9.5 PSI at 32F which is about 2.63 volumes of CO2. The volumes of CO2 desired is beverage dependent, I think ciders may be usually on the lower side. Zahm and Nagel produces many of these charts and tools to measure volumes of CO2 but are super expensive and do not make sense for homebrewing (the tools, you can google the charts).
