Thank you very much for this!! I'll do a second just encase and tweak it next time as is

Hi all I've just completed my first 5gallon cider.. 6.6% not too bad tasting.. I'm wanting to make my next batch, I'm wanting to flavour it this time, I understand using a concentrated juice is what would be best (no preserve, and other nasties etc).. my question is, when would be best to add...

Cloudy cider.. sounds great to me haha thanks for the help

Brilliant! Think I'll boil down some more apple juice with some sugar and chuck it in, do I pitch it on top of the foam and leave? Or shall it stir it in slowly? Thanks

When I set my batch away I added the 23ltr of apple juice yeast and so on it's foaming and seems to be on its way.. but is it too late to add sugar into it to enhance the abv? I never added any at the beginning and starting to think I should have..its been a week now fermenting, just wondering...

I was thinking that, in hindsight would have been the way haha i did however have a taste when i took a gravity reading and it tasted nice - only very slight cinnamon taste

Awesome thank you for this. So I'll check the gravity in another few days see what were at with it, if it's as stated above I'll move it out into separate bottled for drinking! The best part!

Thanks for this.. Noted next time leave more room.. in regards to moving it on etc I've never thought that far ahead.. I have 11 bottles so Sypher it into, these came with the beginners package. When you say secondary could I Sypher it from main into these and let them sit? They're just...

Ok all cleaned took lid off to check, when I pitched my yeast I sprinkled it on top of the airated foam and left it, should I have stirred it then? As I left to absorb? I took a gravity reading whilst there (completely cleaned everything) and the gravity still hasn't went up or down it tasted...

thanks for this, ill clean that right away, im using a proper cider yeast, regarding heat, its slowly going up, taking a while for the pad to reach high/full temp it says it should be to 20

Set my first batch off 5 gallon simple apple juice no preservatives, yeast and yeast nutrients, some cinemon to flavour it.. It's reaching 20c the stopper is bubbling now and then releasing gas, I've put vodka in the stopper as many do, but some of the foam/cider is going up into it, even...

I checked costco site and it didnt list any apple juice, then again its never got stock of everything - and okay, just didnt know if supermarkets where still being strict with bulk buying ha

As stated - people are looked badly at given the current covid situation for over buying or sometimes shops dont even allow over a certain amount, im going tomorrow to buy the 25L, do you all generally get it from 1 shop? Or do you split it? I'm planning on going to Aldi and just packing away 25...

Till thanks this sort it makes sense sure one of the books will clear it up, thanks for the reply, will look now.

Thanking you 😁😁

Cyser.. never heard of, just googled, very impressed! I've also seen people add it a cup of plain tea (bag removed) for tannin? is this a must? Or is it just optional like the extra sugar step? Thanks for the reply
