Just made something a bit like this my self! Bread yeast seemed to work fine although fermented alot quicker! It's drinkable now after only 5 days! Needs sweetening up though for sure or else it tastes like wine! Add some artificial stuff if you cant buy any proper stuff from the shops!

Haha will do cheers

I think I'm going to take the artificial sweeter route with something like aspartame or some thing!

Just making first cider and still a bit of a brew noob! I know I have to kill the yeast off before drinking but should I do it before racking or after a week of racking or what? I would like a sweet carbed cider, cheers

Thanks alot for the info!

How much honey would you suggest? I would like it to be fairly sweet and carbonated so I was going to add a little more honey before racking? If you think adding some more honey/sugar I would be grateful! Cheers

Ok so I decided to try and bring it back to basics to test out the priming and racking and to get the ideas put into practice! A few of you hard core may gasp but here's what I did! Took 3 litres of tesco apple juice Added 2 teaspoons of bread yeast Added 4 teaspoons of honey Then left it split...

Is it ready? If so how is it?

Cheers bud

I am looking to make my first batch but getting a little confused with some of the terms used! Words include Pitching Priming sugar Primary Secondary Rack Carboy Any help with these terms or any others I may come across would be greatly appreciated! Cheers
