Hi, i made the same kit a few weeks ago, im pretty new to it all,but i have noticed that the kits seem to be less violent when it comes to fermenting, and in some cases barely any froth/foam at all. i would not add any extra yeast. I have tried a 'on the rocks'apple cider recentley, and there was barely any froth/foam at all, just a bit of fizz, but it had done its job within the week Have you checked the temp, between 18-25 is what your after, if you have a hydrometer check if the gravity has changed since you started, this should tell you if things are working. If you havent got a hydrometer, i would advise you to get one, makes things a whole lot easier, and you can work out the abv% pretty easily. As for the finlandia if its the pear and apple cider, it is quite nice, very sweet, with a bit of a goldensyrup/honey taste to it. I thinks its a good summer barbecue drink, theres nothing to dislike about it, however if your uses to a dryer cider, u may think its a bit 'soft'. i dont think it would go down too well at a scrumpy party, i fear you would be lynched
i will have alook at the ginger beer recipe its something ive been thinking about so thanks for that anjo ,gonna get a 3rd brew on the go soon havnt decided wat yet ,certainly becoming an obession just hoping it turns out proper :
