I feel your comment about BIAB so much. To me, BIAB was more work than investing in and using a false bottom. I feel like I can trust that process, I had to constantly supervise my brew bag.

Hard cider, it’s in the first long fermentation. Surprisingly fussy about small temperature changes. Apple trees are rare in my area. It took me a long time to save up enough local apples, but I learned about preserving them in different ways. Of course, I wish I’d saved 3 LBS. more. XD
