Hi all! I just tasted my cider before bottling and it was quite nice and dry with little to no sweetness... Will it sweeten up a bit in the bottles at all!? It was also very slightly acidic.. Just wanna know if thats the norm! Cheers, Beb

Thanks guys!! I actually really like it dry so that will work out great!!

G'day guys! Doing my first cider, pretty basic can mix with dextrose... Just took a reading and it was 1.000 is that normal to drop so low for a cider? Cheers

It may have but i probably missed it!

Cheers mate! Yeh thats what i mean... The home brew shops sell the hops based on the best beer it can be used in. It literally says 'pale ale hops' on it.

Hey everyone, just bottled my 1st batch of coopers pale ale. Made with a traditional coopers bitter, extra pale LME and a bag of pale hops! It was in primary for 19 days with an FG of 1010... And smelt good whilst bottling. Its a tad cold here in australia at the moment, so the temp varied...

Here it is!
