  i am a cook operator at an ethanol plant in the northeastern region. &nbsp;I do this for a living on a much larger scale. &nbsp;lol. &nbsp;I use 38 gallons of liquid yeast per batch. &nbsp;Each fermentor is 805,000 gallons. &nbsp;due to state regulations we can only produce so much alcohol per year so we usually produce around 300,000 gallons per day. &nbsp;most interesting job i ever had.

  Now this is what a tutorial should look like. Nice, slow, step by step explaining every single part of the process and why its important. Great work.

  I live in Amish country. They have a very large apple orchard a few miles from me. Every fall they open up a store they have where they sell everything apple related. From honey made from apple blossoms to dehydrated apples and cider. You can actually watch them carry the apples straight from the orchard and dump them into their big manual presses and make it right in front of you. It tastes amazing. Every year I go and buy 20 gallons and make hard cider and apple jack for Christmas gifts for my friends and family. I cant get enough of it.

  Imagine how happy that yeast must be to go from that dark cramped packet to that giant jug full of delicious nutrients 😊

  According to science, alcohol is not a problem it’s a solution😂😂😂😂

  This channel has made fermenting my own alcohol feel more manageable. Very informative but not over complicated!

  I love all the non-technical answers.<br>Brewing should be an accessible, practical hobby. Don&apos;t get hung up on technical details that you won&apos;t feel or taste in the end.<br>A lot of hobbies get ruined by people overcomplicating things.<br><br>Anyways, amazing video, can&apos;t wait for my first batch of cider

  I absolutely love this channel. &nbsp;I&apos;ve been brewing beer for about 20 years--the last five years I&apos;ve focused mostly on meads and ciders. &nbsp;I saw a video you did where you made cider with active dry bread yeast. &nbsp;I was inspired to mess around. &nbsp;I made a 1 gallon batch of...we&apos;ll call it cider...made with apple/white grape juice , demerara sugar, and active dry yeast. &nbsp;Oh...I also threw in a tablespoon of allspice berries and two cinnamon sticks. My friends...I was skeptical. &nbsp;I should not have been!!!! &nbsp;It actually cleared reasonably well, and it drinks smooth! &nbsp;Thank you for the inspiration.

  Pure maraschino cherry juice. MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmm.<br>or<br>Raisin Juice Concentrate would be something the people haven&apos;t seen. Although it might be hard to buy small quantities of pure raisin juice concentrate.

  30 years ago when I was attending college I got deep into homebrewing. Come my Senior year, we tried fermenting anything. From several different juices to soda my roommates I were up to pushing the envelope with Charlie Papazian&apos;s Joy of Home Brewing as our guide. Fast forward 30 years and I want to try it again. Fortunately, I still have most of my equipment in my closet. I never took notes and each batch was a one of a kind creation. I did that purposely. The cider attempt &nbsp;was a failure and I would love to try it again so many years later. Thanks for posting this!
