Hello...Ive just done my first ever batch of cider...it seems ok...a bit cloudy and a bit flat looking (should it look like that?) as I was expeciting it to be clear and fizzy...ha
I had one misshap...as I went on holiday and I asked my brother to syphon the cider into a new demijohn when it stopped fermenting (I was told not to leave it in the sediment for too long after fermentation).. My brother put the airlock back on but didnt put any water in it!!! So it was left for a day before I came back exposed to the air....I filled it straight away and it looks ok...slight bubbling (very slight).....
Should it be fizzey? or do you usually add extra stuff to make cider fizzy??
Well I am looking to drink it fairly soon ( I know I should wait) but should I be bottling it first?
