Going to pick up the ingredients to do a hard cider this weekend.

I made a hard cider in August of 2010. My advice is be patient and do a three stage fermentation. When you rack it into secondary it will get it off the yeast but you will still have alot of apple "dust" in suspension. That will settle out and you will want to rack again for bulk aging. Mine has a crap ton of sediment in the bottle because I didn't do a 3 stage fermentation. I've been meaning to crack another bottle of it soon to see how its progressed over the past year. Also make sure you get juice/cider that is preservative free and pick up some pectic enzyme it will really help with keeping it clear. Sorry if you already knew all this I just figured I'd chime in with my experience.

Did someone say St. Patty's day?!? I'm brewing 10 gallons of my Bloody Sunday Irish Red Ale this Saturday. Two weeks in the fermenter, two in the kegs, should be ready by the 17th. Irish and non-Irish alike are welcome to stop by and have a few if you find yourself in the Iowa City area that weekend!

Here's my Winterfest brews, click on the pic to go to my homebrewing album.
My current setup is just a turkey fryer, with the soda keg fridge, three taps in door with two picnic taps inside, and three or four more picnic taps in the detached garage fridge.
There's a bunch of pics of the former MWC brewmeister's former all-grain setup which he's since given to me, and his current setup. I need to finish the gas plumbing and a few other details to get going with the all-grain.

I'm amazed any brewing is legal in this sorry-ass state.
I think that day was one of the hottest ever in Chicago, would have gone pantless too, but not with Beezil around
