Hey guys, Thanks for the tip. That was a miswording with the yeast stoping fermentation - I meant using HEAT to stop the fermentation. Sorry! I have made wine quite a few times in the past, but not cider andnever in such large quantities and never in a plastic bucket. The reason why I am...

Another question as well. If I do this, I am going to have very large quantities and will be fermenting in a 20 gallon plastic bucket. Does this bucket need an airlock or can I just throw the lid on it? Does plastic work OK? What does everyone else use to ferment large quantities? Thanks!

I should probably ask - is flat cider any good??

I like the sound of Option 1! How long do you normally have to wait until it is degassed and how do you test. With a Hydrometer?? Thanks! Ryan

Nice! How do you kill the carbonation, just campden tablets or yeast? Thanks!

Does anyone have any good ideas on how to store a massive amount of cider other than bottling. I have heard that you can't cork it like wine, so I am wondering, could you put it in a keg? How much is that equipment approx.? Could you just leave it in a wine barrel? Thanks for the help! Ryan
