Thanks you Graysalchemy, i was hoping to get your input. I've a batch of cider going for a month now (using your directions from another post), it's looking good, smells like scrumpy too. That batch was from using "old rosie" as a starter. It took a while to get it all going, but it works. All I...

Hello I've made a few turbo ciders, (several varieties now). But they all seem to taste weak/thin, and boring. Maybe this is because I live in an area that has some great farm's producing scrumpy cider. They are fairly close to where I live, one of the closest is a cider museum where people take...

With all my turbo ciders so far I've added malic acid, but as it was lacking lactobacillus it tasted like pants... At least that's what I'm guessing? One other question for you, if I wanted fizzy cider would I have to add more yeast after the 3 month minimum period? If so would you add it at...

I did a burnt honey brew a few months ago, so now I have 4 demijohns sat in the garage waiting for me to play with them. My question is can I add a lactobacillus culture to them now or would that be a waste of time? If I can add lactobacillus can anyone tell me the best way of doing this...

I just thought I'd say that I've tried this and it works! The demijohn is active, and I'll start a new batch of cider in a week or so. Funny as it smells of cider already, if I compare it to my last few batches of turbo cider it's way better already (and I've not started the main batch yet)...

Thank you, I have read that post now and will get a bottle of old rose on my way back from work. It looks like a hassle to get the yeast back to life but I just might give it ago. Any other idea for of the shelf yeast? Sorry I have posted this in the beer forum, can a mod move this to where it...

Hi I'm on my third batch of cider, I've kept it simple Per gal Apple juice from supermarket 100g of sugar 1 tsp mallic acid 1 tsp of tannin yeast nutrient primed bottle with 1 tsp of sugar The yeast that I used was SN9, to be honest the cider was very drinkable after a few weeks, and I would...

Hi could anyone direct me or show me a way to make a cider similar to Henry westons vintage herefordshire cider? I’d like to replace everything I drink to something like this (don’t like water, coffee, or liquid other than). I know, really I do, but if I can make a decent 8% cider I’ll...

Hello, time to show myself! A little bit about myself... Cider drinker, drink cider. Thank you for all the great info on this site, really looking forward to being a part of it.
