Took that advice, used coopers carb drops in the brew just bottled, much Easier. Thanks.

Bugger, I didn't know that. So brown for beer, is clear ok for cider??

Bag sizes have US / OZ sizes, UK have different measurements, bag didn't help to much. Being very indecisive I added one and a half per pint bottle. They actually split really easy. I quite like a fuzzy pint, so hope I haven't buggered it. Thanks for the advice and will let you k ow how it...
