Awesome. Count me in please

About a teaspoon of yeast per bottle. As far as the tannin, that is personal preference a lot of people do not add tannins. I have never used tannins but it comes down to what you like.

You may want to add a campden tablet to the peach cider if it is fresh pressed and not pasteurized. The tablet will kill off any wild yeast. Just follow the instructions on the tablet container. It will need to sit for a day or two to kill off the wild yeast.

Awesome. Thank you. You added a pound but to how much cider? Did you let it sit in secondary after adding the concentrate?

I would like to have a distinctive strawberry taste. When are you adding the tincture to the process?

I forgot to mention that I will be bottling this. I thought about adding strawberry juice during bottling but I worry about making bottle bombs.

One more thing, LOL, would adding a sugary puree to a secondary just activate the yeast again and put me back into a primary stage?

So I want to make a sparkling strawberry cider and since I am new I am still trying to figure out how to do this. My ideas and options I can think of are as follows. 1. Add a pound of strawberry puree per gallon in primary. My concern is that most of the strawberry flavor will be gone but I...

Welcome. Where are you from in Ireland? My wife's family is all from County Tipperary.

I want to make a cherry cider or a watermelon cider but have a question. Most of the recipes I have call for making apple cider and adding the other juice as a blend. Is there a problem with just using, say, cherry juice? Is it because it is more cost effective to use an apple blend?

Lactose works but is not very sweet. You can add it when bottling and the yeast will not eat it.

I had some really good books on rock hounding around Silver and Lordsburg. I got rid of them though when I moved to Alamogordo. More unexploded bombs and rockets around here than rocks.

So my wife broke down and finally let me get a starter home brew kit. I got the Craft a Beer home cider kit since I was more interested in making cider. I am now anxiously awaiting my first batch. Five more days left. I am hoping to learn as much as a can here since I cannot find many cider...
