a. White labs WLP 775 for the yeast :thumb:
b. Yes stupid question :grin:

Just for clarification what you need is apple juice from concentrate, not concentrated apple juice
The stuff in 1 litre cartons on the fruit juice aisle in the supermarket :)

ok got it so how long does this t.c take before it's drinkable? and how well does it store?

 

[tubby_shaw]

It's drinkable straight from the fermenter
But I have cracked open two year old bottles that were amazing :party:

been looking through my yeast collection. I seem to be down a wheat beer yeast? and up a so4? arrrrr thats way the cider tasted shall we say, interesting :P

Not bad flavour actualy, rather floral but balanced the dryness quite well

Hah! Actually sounds interesting though. I suppose the killer questions are, would you do it ever, ever again - and does it still taste like cider?

 

[aeddon]

well i thought no, but thinking again now you've asked, i think yes i may. Accidents happen, thank god for penicillin. it got stuck for a while at around 1017 for a week then again at 1012 for another week but fine after that. i will try it again and let it ferment out.

i shall name you yee weissenapfel
