Hello,
1) Me and the Mrs have just pressed a batch of juice. How far to the top of the demijohn should I fill it? should there ideally be no air space so touching the cork once I put the airlock on?
2) Should I place the airlock on straight away?
3) Ideally I would like it to naturally ferment..is this likely? The apples were brought from a grocers...new zealand cox.
4) If I have to add yeast when should I do it? Straight away?
5) What temperature should I store at?
6) I have a pint of juice left over....if it was easy enougth id want to make cider out of it but only have another half size demijohn which I guess is to big? Or could I make cider vinegar? or do you think stuff it and just drink it now?
7) Can I do anything with the remaining pulp?
Thanks in advance
