    Label Software

    Photoshop does me, youll need to read up on some tutorials to get the hang of it. Sadly its not free, but you could always browse the net for someone to "lend" you a copy, if you catch my drift ;) Photoshop CS 2 is the latest, great piece of software. Ive also heard good things about GIMP...

    Cider has slowed down to one BPM in airlock. Time to secondary?

    no offence mate, but your asking the same questions over again =/ if you read back, people have told you to add lactose to sweeten it as it doesnt ferment. If you cant get that, use splenda. It wont taste as good, but does the same job :)

    Cider has slowed down to one BPM in airlock. Time to secondary?

    no worries, just sweeten it until it tastes good =) And about the sorbate and bottling, when you add sorbate it kills off the yeast. When you carbonate in bottles what happening is the yeasties are still producing a very slight amount of Co2. Because it has no where to go (its stuck in a...

    Cider has slowed down to one BPM in airlock. Time to secondary?

    I'm pretty sure you dont want to be killing the yeast about now, my limited knowledge could be wrong, but as far as i knew you were supposed to add campoden and sorbate at the end of fermentation :?

    Just started second cider (help on OG)

    to save making a new topic and as its pretty much on the same lines, ill post my latest question here. Is there a rough gravity reading i'm waiting for before racking into the secondary? reeading back that sounds a bit confusing, so is there like a (eg) "well wait till its around 1020...

    Bad Smell

    Sulphur smells are completely normal for cider, give it some time and it will go away.
