cider i've made from kits takes around four days at 24 0C yet from juice takes a few weeks/days depending on the yeast i use! To carb.. Add one teaspoon of sugar per litre dissolved in a little water, I'd estimate beweetn 90 - 120 g per five gallon. Long you leave it, More carbed it'll...

Their all over a year old? I'd be doubtful it would help adding new yeast just complicate the taste and be hard for yo to transfer it from the corny to another container and back to clear sediment with it being carbed. Oxygenation would be an issue i think. This is a educated guess :P

Magnums pear cider is the best kit I've tasted when i friend did it. Not sure how closely it taste like Kopparberg.

Okay thank you. Is their a better cap i can use then other then having it open one that lets out pressure so the beer won't come oxygenated?

So i'll have to empty it back to bucket to do this, are you guessing something not connected correctly??

Thank you, What do you suggest i do? As its currently full of beers. Bit worried about the pressure building up naturally and me seeing it tomorrow being completely empty.

Ok I've brought a plastic keg. I used a 8g co2 bomb and soon as it went in the tap started to slowly drip constantly until i poured of two pints (which removed all the pressure because i obviously couldn't leave it dripping out. Any suggestion in relation to this. Is it my a problem with the...
