I am planning on starting to make my first gallon of DRINKABLE cider in 2 weeks time. I have read so many different methods to making cider that I am beginning to get confused & bamboozled!
I am planning to juice my own apples.
Would my steps below be the correct sequence? I'd appreciate any input at this time!
1. Juice apples, check OG & pasturise
2. Add sugar syrup to increase to SG if required
3. Add 1 Campden tablet & leave 12 hours
4. Add pectic enzyme (How long do I need to leave this before doing the next step?)
5. Add yeast nutrient & yeast (Lavlin EC1118). (do I need to increase the temperature of the liquid before I pitch the yeast? - room temperature will be about 20degC)
6. Stir & put on airlock.
All further steps I will enquire about as required, but I feel that I need some confirmation on these ones to set me off in the right direction.
