Hey guys,
I have done maybe eight 5 gallon (UK) batches of cider so far and I seem to be getting way better.
My current recipe is:
22 litres of apple juice
1KG dextrose
500g white sugar
4 teaspoons yeast nutrient
2 teaspoons pectolase
1 sachet of Champagne yeast.
Well that gives me a very sharp, refreshing and high alcohol brew.
The only problem i'm having is priming sugar amounts and back sweetening amounts.
Any help on amounts would be great. At the bottling stage I get about 42 pints of the brew. I would like it to be medium dry and very fizzy.
