Hi all,
I am new to cider making. Bought a house with lots of apple trees so thought I would give wild fermentation and brewing a go. I juiced all my apples last Saturday and have placed about 10litres in a plastic tub. On Day 3 I had mould growing so skimmed this off and stirred it up. The juice is bubbling away now and I am awaiting delivery of demijohn to transfer so under complete air lock as I don't think my plastic tub is. However I now have a red sort of scum forming on top and don't know if this is normal? The juice is quite dark red from the apples I have used. It does not taste mouldy but a bit tangy and fizzy? Please help thanks.
