Hello and general brewing advice

[johncrobinson]

Yes
The ONLY thing to look out for is to make sure its PURE juice.
I.e Not apple "drink".
The juice must be free from preservatives the ones labeled Pure are.

[johncrobinson]

I get mine from the local co-op.
It works out for me at £2.40p* for a gallon of wine at 15%abv
I make wine with it rather than cider you see
*(cost of juice)

Is it just supermarkets own brand AJ?

Yes, as JCR says 100% juice or juice from concentrate , I've used Tesco ,Aldi and Lidl juices, where ever I'm working closest too at time of purchasing. Generally gives about 6.2%

 

[Bisonhead]

Brilliant, thanks folks

 

[johncrobinson]

Will second that. As DavieC says if you add no extra sugar the juice itself will come out at about 6% which is a nice strength for a cider.

How much yeast and yeast nutrient for 5 litres though

 

[johncrobinson]

WEEEL One pack yeast will be enough,It breeds like rabbits better in fact.

Fermenting with pure juice should only require the minimum of added nutrient
Say 1 teaspoon per 25litrs.
