Someone please tell me they have a recipe for this because I looove it, so yummy :cheers: Thanks in advance, Dee

Hello all, I'm sorry about all the questions, I'm new to the brewing business! My cider has completely fermented and is now ready to be bottled... Just one question. How do I go about the priming sugar? I have cane sugar, can I add it straight into the bottles or do I need to disslove it first...

Erm...wow. I'd try it :cheers:

I have done my first brew. It consisted of 1/3 packet of youngs yeast, 6 tsp sugar 4.5L apple juice... It bubbled really nicely, and smells yummy. It bubbled for about 4 days (although the room it was in was rather warm). Only a slight problem -it's cloudy. Do I wait for it to clear or bottle...

Hello all, I was just curious to see how many of you have tried the kits available online, they mostly come with everything you need, the only additionals (excluding equiptment) are water and sugar :wha: . I know youngs do a few different cider varieties which I am particularly interested in...

Hi Neil, At the moment I have 5x 4.5L glass demijohns, my first brew is still brewing away nicely but I have indeed decided to order a bucket. :) Just a quick question to throw out there... I put 4.5L apple juice, 1/3 youngs sachet yeast and half a dozen tsp sugar per 4.5L DJ. It started...

Do I have to add yeast nutrient? As I said above I don't live on mainland so these things are a bit hard to come by unless i order on the net. I heard tomato puree was a good alternative, is that true :?: :?:

It's not a snip when you have to pay £17 postage! -I don't live on mainland. I may invest in a mop bucket with a lid, should be alright shouldn't it? :grin:

Can I just use normal plastic bottles with screw-on lids? (sterilised of course)? I am off to buy the last few bits this evening (juice and camden tablets)... can't wait to get started! I have two small 2L demijohns to start off with... just for a try. I'm picking up four 4.5L demijohns on...

I am looking for recipe's that can go straight into demijohns, gonna try out some turbo cider later on today. Anyone have any suggestions/Ideas? Anything would be greatly appeciated, thanks :mrgreen: Dee

Can I use normal sugar or does it have to be anythin specific?

Thanks! I think I will give that recipe a quick try before moving onto something more "serious" :) ...a second fermenting bucket, what for? Just for more volumes of cider or is it to transfer the cider? Explain please :) Just one more question... Do I actually need a mixing paddle or can I...

Hi there, I am completely new to home brewing! I was hoping I could possibly get a push in the right direction :) ..I just have a few questions and if anyone has any additional info it would be greatly appreciated! First of all... equiptment! I currently have the following: Fermentation bin...

I'm Dee :mrgreen: I like cider. I haven't brewed before, so I am completely new to this. Doing some research and gathering equipment at the mo :) Hopefully you guys can help me out and send me in the right direction and hopefully my first batch won't turn out to be too much of a disaster...
