Hey all, just wondering as i am doing my current batch in a bucket rather than a carboy. I have a lid which i can either loosely put on, or properly close making it airtight. The lid doesnt have a hole cut in it for a airlock, and after attempting to cut one and ending up with a useless lid...

Hey all, after the great success of my first cider, i decided i'd try something a bit more adventurouse heh. I followed the following recipe and altered it slightly: Dutch Gold Clover Honey (~2.5 lb) Used some random honey i found at the local Knudsen's Organic Apple Juice (to ~1 Gal)...

Hey all, wasnt sure where to put this, so it ended up here. an old ex-homebrewer and i got talking today and he was generouse enough to give me all his old supplies :) Amongst a load of primary fermenters, siphoners, funnels a recipe book (looks pretty awsome, mainly wines and the odd...

Hey all, after the great help i got when first posting about brewing cider, i thought this would be a good place to ask this. When i brewed wine (and this could very well be wrong), when i racked it i filtered it to get as much of the yeast out as possable, left it another month then filtered...

Well i just got it going :) It took 2 hours to juice all the apples, we had a awful blender and most of it had oto just be reduced down to Must then done by hand. Still, we managed to get about 3/4 a gallon of pure, filtered juice from 40 small-medium apples, so it cant all be bad. Only...
