Hallo,
I have been reading about several methods to stop fermentation here in this forum to end up with a little sweeter cider.
BUT, I have been and continue to make a 35 gallon barrel of cider. I keep all of it in the barrel and just draw one pitcher at a time for consumption.
What would be the best way to stop fermentation for all 35 g's.?
I have never added yeast, just sugar at the start.
Thanks.
 
Thanks, Sounds good.
I, at one point, thought about killing the yeast with Grain alcohol, but did not want to run around totally drunk 24/7.
 
Hallo,
What campden tablets do you folks recommend for that?
potassium metabisulfite
or
sodium metabisulfite?
Or does it even matter?

AND
what does the term "pitching the yeast" mean?
Thanks
 
So you wait for wild yeast in the air and equipment to take hold? How does that work out for you?
 
Been doing the wild yeast for years and never had problems. I DO however bleach everything i need including the barrels, pumps, hoses etc.
