Hey folks,
I've just kicked off my very first home brew, started with a turbo cider
I've got a few questions though as this is completely new to me and I've no idea what some of the terms even mean...
To start with this is what I've done
+ Turbo Cider 1
5 Litre demijohn
2.5 grams yeast
4.5 litres concentrate AJ
OG 1.046
+ Turbo Cider 2
5 Litre demijohn
2.5 grans yeast
4.5 litres concentrate AJ
2 Tables spoons extra sugar
OG 1.048
Basically I've just kicked them off, placed them on a heat mat for 12 hours and the fermentation has kicked off a treat
I'm now going to put them into a dark cupboard but I'm not sure how long for ?? The longer the more alcohol content ?? Or wait for it to stop fermenting or when the gravity reaches 1 ?? I'm aiming for a cider of around 7% ABV...
There are 2 terms that are used everywhere but I can't find any definitions of them. Racking & Priming ? What are these ?
Thanks
