Hi all, new to the forum.
I recently made a cider press and tried it out with 3kg of braeburn apples. I collected the juice in a galvanised bucket and racked it into a demijohn. I sampled the juice and it had a weird antiseptic taste to it. Could this be the juice reacting with the zinc from the bucket? Its fermenting away nicely but just wondered about the taste. Thanks for any advice, Matt
