Hi all,
I knocked up some (surprisingly strong but delicious) cider (which tastes more like wine lol). It was basically the easy 'turbo' way of doing it. Whilst I was at it I tried a second batch just using water with yeast and sugar, and that is surprisingly nice as well.
Now then, there is sediment at the bottom of the bottle as you would expect. I couldn't care less but my friends look at it as if it was poison. Is this a valid way of removing it, and I don't see why I can't find any information on this anywhere:
Take a 2 litre bottle, cut the top off and invert it over the base of the bottle. Stretch a sock and/or a pair of tights over the head of the bottle. Pour the cider into the inverted bottle top until the base is full. Pour this into your storage bottle. Repeat until all liquid is done. Consider doing another time if sediment remains.
Look at the picture here for what I mean about inverting the bottle: http://insected.arizona.edu/flyrear.htm
Are there any problems with this? It would still be carbonated, right?
Thanks
