Commercialization of Christmas, among other things... Today I received a Christmas card in the mail from a friend of a friend, whom I've only spoken to two or three times in my life. She wrote me a handwritten paragraph or two (Not the typical "Happy Holidays! Love so-and-so".) Ironically, I th...

Anyone try brewing hard cider before? Just taste tested the cider today. Not nearly as bad as I had expected. The gases started smelling pretty bad the past few days, but the cider still tastes apple-ish with a little residual sugar. I don't have a hydrometer so I am unable to calculate...
