Re: Here are the instructions that came with the kit

Yes! It is a Cyser! But most people have never heard of the term, but that's OK too. i'm really excited about doing up a mead, but i'll probably boil the wort a few minutes first. i know that honey itself is not a great fermentable and many people use some yeast nutrients in it. with the added appl...

Re: How to make beer with EZ Caps

i've used cheesecloth with a real beer, a belgian ale that has a bit much yeast for me. worked very well. even something like window screen material does a nice job with the gunky yeast, but not so much with fine particles.
