Oh OK thanks I stuck that at the top of my list to do next time but I will cross that off. My yeast nutrition turned up today and I stuck some in seemed to have given it a good kick as the airlock is now in full swing. It was fermenting before due to the hydrometer reading I took last night...

I took a hydrometer reading today and it has gone down a fair bit so I'm guessing all is well. I've been reading up and people are saying to add campden tablets to the apple juice 24 hours before yeast to prevent smells and spoils. So might give that a go. The fermenting buckets I'm using...

The smell doesn't seem to be as bad today, or I'm getting used to it. Also a bit of a worry that there's no air lock movement, but have read air locks are not a true reflection of fermenting. I'm bottling wine today so will take a hydrometer reading whilst I'm sterilising everything and see...

Washing machine was fine come down thismorning and she's cleaned the hole thing so that's a bonus. Yer I would say it smells like rotten eggs or like a stink bomb. I couldn't even tell you what yeast I'm using I ordered one from amazon and they sent a complete different thing just said cider...

Hi guys wondering if anyone can help or just some reassurance that it will be alright. First batch of cider brewing probably went in at the deep end with doing 25 litres rather than a small batch first. I'm about 3 days in and it stinks my partner wasn't best impressed once she'd cleaned...

I didn't put as much in as I did when I don't my wine it's less than half full. Perfect thank you I will do this next time Thanks for your help

Hi guys just started brewing my first 25 litre batch of cider when I put the lid on and airlock on it seemed to have sucked some of the water in. Has anyone got any tips to prevent this for when I come to check the fg reading Thanks

Ahh thanks that could be an idea worth looking into! And worked out really cheap aslo the taste was a pluss. Thanks for your help

Yes the beer festival is great also the cider and sausage festival in Stoborough is a good day and evening. I was thinking of using stainless Steel as we make kitchen equipment and know that is used as its food safe, would that be OK or would that cause problems? That's what I had in mind a...

Good morning and thank you. I'm from a little town called wareham its in-between swanage and Poole how about you? I think I will have to go to loads of different shops and get a few different brands. That's a good idia thank you I could put a post on Facebook and see if anyone I know has apples...

I have found it online one shop Can post it from London the postage is more than the juice. I think I will try going to a few shops today and see if I can get some. Thanks

We have no delivery slots in our area for a few months. I think I will have to try going in the shops every few days. Just wondered if anyone had websites they had ordered off. Thanks for all you help guys

Sorry not a cider kit, all the fermenting tubs ect. I'm in Dorset and most shops still have restrictions. Yes I could do that, just wondered if there was a website people used to get it from.

Hi everyone Ive ordered a kit to brew cider I'm looking to make it from apple juice rather than pressing the apples myself! Will look into that when I get into it all a bit more. But with the limitations in the shops with only 3 items it will take a long time to get 20ltrs of apple juice. Has...
