It doesn't matter. It works well both from concentrate, bottled,or fresh.At 07:58 PM 5/8/2004 +0000, you wrote:>>>Yahoo! Groups Links>>>>ORGINAL POSTER: steve

I use both concentrate and bottled. Make sure theyare naturally sweetened. Avoid juices that havehigh frutose and glucose in them. I have been told thatjuices that contain absorbic acid work but I still avoidthose as well. If the label has a bunch of stuff otherthan water and juice I avoid them.ORGINAL POSTER: ramjammn

Unless you want to drinka gallon just to get a good buzz. I ferment my strongbeverages from 10 to 12 days.I just tried a new apple recipe. Took about half cupof filtered water and put in a sauce pan. Added about10 cloves,cinnamon,allspice to the water. Boiled forabout 8 to 10 minutes. Added (after straining) mostof that liquid to my 2L bottle. Added 10 TBs of sugarand just under 1/4 tsp yeast. Will ferment 8 to 10days.ORGINAL POSTER: ramjammn

Thought I would update on my first Ales. The first(and weaker) batches I made were not bad. I onlyfermented 5 days and that was a mistake. I should havegone 7 or 8 days. It was kind of sweet which is notall that good for a beer. Plus it did not taste allmuch alcohol was present. Second,Even though my maltextract syrup was hopped the beverage had no hopbiiterness at all. My next batches I will add somenice floral hops towards the end of the boil. Saya little Northern Brewer or other mild fresh hops.Had I done a longer ferment and added the hops at theend this Ale would have been a 8 on a 10 scale. Theflavor of the alereminds me on a spicy winter seasonalbrew that many micro breweries make. The first flavorthat comes to mind when I sip it is cloves. My nextbatches will benifit from what I learned from my firstattempts. I still have the extra strong (double the maltsper 2L bottle) batch that has now fermented 7 days. Idon't want to open it to early but I also don't want itto sit in a primary fermenter to long.ORGINAL POSTER: ramjammn
