P Squared

 

Base Must:

  • Motts Apple Juice x 4 Gal
  • Old Orchard Pomegranate Blueberry Frozen 12oz. x 5
  • Old Orchard Apple 12oz. x 1

Yeast:

Dry Champagne Yeast Red Star x 2

Gather equipment:

  • 5 gal carboy
  • Large funnel
  • Carboy drilled stopper or hood
  • 6x6 square and full sized square of aluminum foil
  • Airlock
  • Thermometer
  • Small stock pot and a larger stock pot (to make yeast)
  • ice
  • Spoon
  • Sanitizer (I use either Star-San or Iodophor)
  • Racking cane with tubing
  • Bottling bucket
  • 48 glass bottles with crowns
  • Capper

How To:

1. Gather carboy, bottling bucket, funnel, stopper, airlock ,racking cane, stock pot, foil, and spoon

2. Boil 2 cups of water in stock pot for 15 minutes

3. While boiling, mix sanitized in a clean carboy 5 Gal. Place racking cane in the carboy and fill the tubing. Once you have the tubing filled feed the tubing into the top of the carboy.

4. Clean bottling bucket and place stopper, airlock, spoon, and foil in bucket

5. After the boil has finished, set in the larger pot of ice until the temp is about 85-90 F

6. After about 10 minutes, using the now sanitized racking cane, transfer the sanitizer down to the bottling bucket. You are done with the cane.

7. Take the 6x6 square foil and wrap it over the top of the carboy.

Your water should be about 85-90 F by now…

Take 1 cup of apple juice and add it to the sterile water.

Add 2 packets of dry yeast to the water.

Stir until all the yeast is hydrated.

Cover with foil

Ok, Now the fun begins;

Using your funnel,

Dump 3 gal of apple juice into carboy

Dump in the frozen apple juice and all but 1 Pomegranate Blueberry.

Dump the last apple juice to help clean the funnel.

Take an OG(original Gravity) and write it down! And taste the must. Note the flavor.

Fill your airlock and push it into the stopper, then close the carboy.

Clean the funnel and put it in the sanitizer for at least 5 minute.

Time for a little shacking of the carboy, a good 5 minute of vigorous shacking will do nicely. BE CAREFUL NOT TO LET THE CARBOY SLIP OUT OF YOUR HAND! BROKEN BIG GLASS THINGY REALLY DOES A NICE JOB OF SLICING HUMAN FLESH!!!

While you rest your arms and back, check the yeast. You should have a nice layer of foam over the top. Good, time to pitch the yeast.

Pull the stopper/airlock out, using the now sanitized funnel, pitch the yeast.

Put the stopper back and start the now cider for another 5 minutes.

Try to control the fermentation as much as possible. Check after the first 24 hours, you should be able to see the airlock starting to bubble.

After the 7 or 9 days take another gravity reading. You should be almost done. Your target gravity will be about 1.004 or less. Taste the cider and note the flavor. If the gravity is still up there (over 1.005+), you will have to wait it out. Check it again in about 2 or 3 days. When you reach your target, taste the cider. Time to chill the cider.

Let the cider set in the frig for about 2 to 3 day to settle out most of the sediment.

On bottling day, pull out the carboy and frozen juice, set it on the counter for about 3 to 4 hours…   (I force carbonate all my brews, so instead of warming, I go straight to the keg)  This will let the yeast weak up. Now you can clean and sanitize you bottling bucket, bottling wand, bottles, caps, racking cane and tubing, a long handled spoon, and a few squares of foil. When sanitizing my bottles, I like to fill them with sanitizer and cover the tops with a small square of foil. Just to for my own peace of mind. Be sure to clean and sanitize a clear water bottle and lid to use for a carbonation tester! You do not want bottle bombs!!! You will want to dump the remaining sanitizer into a larger stock pot to keep you caps, bottling wand, and spoon.

Once you feel the cider has warmed up to about 64-68F, you are ready to bottle.

Rack the cider to your bottling bucket. While racking add the last juice to the bucket and gently move the cider with you sanitized spoon. Now attach the bottling wand to you racking cane and start filling bottles.

After you have all you bottles filled, BE SURE TO STORE THE BOTTLE IN A BOX WITH A LID. Exploding bottles can send glass everywhere. Test the plaster bottle every day until it gets firm. Now it is time to Chill… Crack open I nice hand crafted of homebrew and savor the moment.

Everything about horse betting

In addition to offering the full menu of track bets, i.e., Win, Place, Show, Daily Doubles, Exactas, Quinellas, Trifectas and Superfectas, some have started offering additional types of wagers such as a two horse match bet. This, in our opinion, is the most significant opportunity for horse racing today. In an era where proposition bets on football range from the point spread to which way the wind will be blowing at half time, horse racing is missing the boat. They've failed to recognize what Las Vegas has known for some time, namely that gaming is entertainment and that the way to increase 'handle' is to offer more types of wagers. This year's Superbowl offered over 300 proposition bets resulting in a record setting day for the Las Vegas sports books with over 94 million dollars wagered. To put that into perspective, that's about .6% of the 15 billion dollars wagered annually on horse racing.
[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]horce racing charts[/url]
In the United States, races can occur on flat surfaces of either dirt or grass, generally for thoroughbred racing. Other tracks offer quarter horse racing]] and harness racing. The best events in US horse racing have been Kentucky Derby, which, together with the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes, form the Triple Crown for three-year-olds. However, in recent years the Breeders' Cup races, held at the end of the year, have been challenging the Triple Crown events, held early in.


What makes this event so difficult to win? Several factors have to be considered. First there's the age of the horses. Triple Crown races are limited to 3 year olds, juveniles, all of whom officially have their birthday on January 1st of each year. By the first Saturday in May (the running of the Kentucky Derby), though most of the contestants will have actually reached their third birthday, they won't realize their full growth and potential until their fourth or fifth years.

[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]horse betting[/url]
Sweetnorthernsaint ridden by Kent Desormeaux was favored to win the Derby, but finished a disappointing seventh by 13 lengths. That though, after a bumped start and being steadied before finally tiring. With a lifetime 3 wins out of 7 starts, all 3 have come this year, and the shorter distance of the Preakness might be more to his liking.

9.) Similarly, chat rooms also offer different incentives. Some chat rooms offer free game for playing and chatting for certain number of hours on their site. Some offer incentives for referring friends to their site. Such incentives offer extra chances to play and therefore, more chances for winning a game of online bingo. You also get to enjoy bingo games for longer periods. [url=http://www.bingokisses.com]play online bingo[/url] You have to mark all numbers in any given pattern or combination like diagonal, vertical, horizontal or a total blackout by marking all numbers in your card. The game stops as soon as any single player calls out 'bingo' after completing any particular combination or pattern. Thereafter, a new game ensues. [url=http://www.bingokisses.com]free bingo money[/url] With so many different casino and gaming sites on the Internet, it is difficult to know which ones are legitimate and which ones are not. After all, if you want to join the gaming community, you have to decide whether you want to play for money or for fun and prizes. If the former, it is more pertinent to find out what sites are legitimate since you do not want to invest cash into something that is not going to give you a return on your investment.
no deposit bingo bingo
Your aim would be to cover the prescribed pattern with the bingo letters, by coordinating the letters and numbers called. The patterns can be anything like, u shape, t shape, etc, though it usually is horizontal or vertical. As soon as you get the pattern, you should shout bingo and you get the prize. In case there are others who shouted at the same time as you, the prize will be shared among all winners.
