Ok all the demijohns have stopped fermenting now

Cheers!

I was going to get one of the them kegs with the tap on. How long after fermenting should I leave it for? When to put in the keg? How long is best to leave it before drinking it?

Well one of the demi johns has stopped bubbling today. :D Should i take a hydrometer reading now?

No idea. It's sat on the floor in my dining room!

Cheers I really appreciate all your advice. I guess its a suck it and see kind of thing! Trial an error. ;)

Thanks How will i know if that original mold has ruined it? Will it taste naff?

It's going mad in the Demi johns but looking good. One of them is foaming up and coming out the airlock. Do I need to do something?

well i chucked the white wine yeast in and its started bubbling away so fingers crossed!

So here are the pics before we racked into demi johns. Mold not very visible but it was def in there.

Are white wine nutrients any good or does it have to be white wine yeast? :?

Cheers Will get the yeast tommorow. Hope i have managed to salvage it! :?

Ok. Will pick up some yeast tomorrow. Will have a look out for tannin Should I start seeing the airlocks bubbling anytime soon?

So I racked it off into demijohns tonight and added Camden tablets and fitted airlocks. Got a taste of it when siphoning and it didn't taste to bad, still more like an apple juice.

Great Should the tannin go in at the same time as Camden and yeast? Also is the universal wine yeast that wilkos sell the right stuff?

Cheers. I have some airlocks so will fit them?

Ideally looking for a dry scrumpy cider but not to fussy! So syphon the juice into demijohns and add a campden tablet. What about the yeast? How do I add that? Cheers

Thanks I will need to get another fermenting bin to syphon into. I have a load of demijohns here? One tablet per gallon. is that correct?

We have 18 litres. It smells quite nice but its the green mold looking specs that worry me. Whats the best course of action?

Yes its been indoors since we pressed it. We took a reading with the hydrometer at the start which was 1042 if thats any help??
