You can say that again! Still no movement, so I'll add some more yeast now. Sam

Cheers guy, I will follow advice and wait another day at least. If nothing happens how do I get the yeast started in a separate container? This is the yeast I used - http://www.dorsethomebrew.co.uk/shop/nu ... 43317.html Definitely agree about the juicers, this one was pretty cruddy alright...

I got it from here - http://www.the-online-homebrew-company. ... ucts_id=51 Sam

Hey Guys, Thanks for the replies, it's been and day and nothings happened, should I add more yeast? Yes, I mashed the apples and then ran them through a juicer (which had a pulp filter but didn't work very well) then ran it through a siv. Next time I'd get some muslin/just buy some non...

Cheers guys, it's a bubbly one. I'll go and add some water now! Sam

As it says do I need to put the cap onto the top of my demijohn airlock? Also should I put water or miltons in the airlock? Sam

grazie mille Sam

Hey Guys, I just put in my Campden tablet, Pectolase and Cider yeast into my juice one after the other - have I messed it up? Also the juice was kinda thick when it came out of the juicer, will it seperate in the demijohn, or will I be drinking a dodgy milkshake? Sam

Hey guys, My syphon tube has two small holes one inch from the end (the end which would go into the brew rather than bottle) why is this? I'm worried I'll be stuck with some brew I can't syphon. Sam

Cheers guy, brought 12 x Grolsch style bottles in the end as it meant I didn't need to also buy a capper and caps! :cheers: Sam

When you buy one of these kits, what does it actually contain some sort of dried apple powder?

Gentlemen, almost a month after my original post sitting in my kitchen right now is 1 x glass demijohn and 1 x 5.5 gallon fermenting bin (branded by boots beermaking - not sure how old it is!) both being sterilized with a mixture of water and miltons (a baby cleaning solution). Earlier today...

Hey guys, Any recommendations on what I should be looking for/where to buy bottles for my cider (I will be making them fizzy) so they need to be able to have an air lock and handle compressed air. Sam

Okay, Thanks for the tips, so if I had the camden tablets I should add yeast? Will this do: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cider-Yeast-H ... 560wt_1139 Also If I add Pectolase, yeast and camden tablets can I still make the cider fizzy with a secondary fermintation as I've heard people suggest I...

Thanks for the tips, on the website: http://www.oldsleningford.co.uk/subpage.html It suggests I don't need to add any yeast as the Apples already have it inside, is this true? Also says If I make cider in October I need to leave it till summer before it tastes good, I presume this is because...

Thanks Andy, Some great info there! So looking at the spread-sheet if I wanted a strength of 4.8% I need to add 97 grams of sugar (per litre). What's the S.G. Degrees all about? Would there be any issue with leaving the cider longer than the 5 weeks? If I bottled it would it keep for longer...

Hey, Thanks for getting back to me, sounds like a great brew. Could you explain this to me: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... n_GB#gid=0 And could you explain this point as well: 5. squeeze through a top into a fermentation vessal (plastic food grade bucket) Also can you tell me...

Hey guys, What with all the Apples going round at the moment, I'm really keen to try my first brew of home made cider. However funds are fairly limited, so I was wondering if people could give me a basic guide of what I need. Primarily I'm looking to make a fairly small amount say 10+ pints...
