Yeah Kauai, did you confuse H2O with O2? haha I am really intrigued by this recipe, will need to wait and see how this turns out.

You're adding the campden later, right? Not into the primary. Because...wouldn't that kill the yeast and defeat the whole purpose? Or am I mistaken as to the purpose of the tablets?
wendelgee2, campden serves many purposes. In this case, he is using preservative free unpasteurized cider, in this case you must kill off the wild yeast before pitching a brewer's yeast. You throw in one crushed and dissolved tablet per gallon, wait 24 hours and then pitch your own yeast.

Thanks Tusch.
Not to hijack the thread, but I can't seem to find your strong spiced cider recipe on the forums. Have you posted it? If not, would you mind? It sounds like exactly what I'm looking to make.
No real recipe on that, I believe it was 1 Tbs of apple pie spice and 1/2 lb of brown sugar per gallon of store bought juice. The ground spices ended up being a pain, but the taste was quite nice with that.

Finally bottled with total of ~2 weeks in primary and ~4 weeks in secondary. Cider turned out very clear. I forgot to taste before adding dextrose, but it wasn't as light as some ciders I have tried, which was the goal and it was fairly sweet. Seemed to have a few bubbles already so hopefully it will carb nicely in bottles.

It has decent carbonation. No head, as expected for cider but I intend to age this until this fall so hopefully it will be nicely carbed next time i crack one!
