Hi guys, I made some cider out of the apples on my parents tree after getting sick of crumbles and tarts, so that's sitting in the shed, conditioning. Now I have a spare bin, hmmm.
So bought a better brew ipa pouch, some brew enhancer and some cascade hops.
My Og was 1.048, and it's sitting in a shaded area reading about 22c now.
Does it need to be properly dark, or just out of sunlight?
My plan is to let it ferment out, then transfer via syphon to another bin (going to get one with a tap on for bottling), then add some cascade hops, I was thinking 30g? Does this sound about right? Then leave it for a week with the hops in, remove hops and add 80g sugar, stir and bottle?
Then leave bottles in same place as it was fermented for a week, then put them into the shed.
Does this sound about right?
Thanks! Already thinking about what to do next!
