A little over a month ago I made my first attempt at a hard cider. I did 5 gallons, added a coup of brown sugar, 2 tsp of yeast nutrient and pitched Nottingham. It was FREGGING delicious!!!
So, I've got a 18 gallon fermenter and I just filled it with 17 gallons of cider. I'm going to wash and use the yeast from the first batch, tonight I'm putting in some pectic acid (for clarity), put in two pounds of brown sugar.
I've been reading a lot of posts in here and I think i'm ready for this, but I'd appreciate any other warnings and experiences about doing a large scale batch like this.
Thank you.
