Hello I made some cider about 6 months ago when I was first experimenting. It fermented for about 3 weeks then I put it straight into bottles with a sugar cube and put them in the hut. Now I have 2 1litre bottles of it and its super clear but the bottom has some golden brown crumb like...

About 6 weeks ago i done some experimenting with different fermentations to see what i could create. I made some cider that was bloody great. Some mead that so far tastes like death. But i also made a little mix of ingredients which consisted of: 1 litre of apple juice, 1 litre of...

My mistake I only made 2 litres. And unfortunately I don't have a hydrometer ( on my to buy list )

Hello Started my mead about 5 weeks ago. I made 1 gallon using 600g of honey, handful of raisins, yeast nutrient and a pack of cider yeast. Now i know its not going to be the best mead but I swapped it into a secondary demijohn as the raisins didn't look very nice and thought it would...

Hello :tank: Just thought i would say a thank you for this great site. I have been a cider lover for the past few years. There is nothing i hate more than cheap rubbish calling itself cider. I started a few batches of cider experiments a month or so ago. I created a 5litre batch which...

Just normal tea bags ( seen a lot of people saying it adds tannin which gives the cider more body ) The honey is just a jar of honey from the super market, I know its not amazing stuff ( its 100% honey though ) but its sweet, should add something else that sugar wont.

Hello I think this is my 3rd thread asking for what probably is very simple questions :o About 3 weeks ago i started with my first cider and since made 5 litres of cider 2 litres of wine and got 2 litres of mead / 6 litres of cider / 1 litres of hard lemonade ( experiment ) on the go...

Well thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I couldn't help myself and syphoned it into another demijohn. In about 5hours it became rather clear and smelled lovely. I took another 1 litre of apple juice and topped it up then transferred into bottles to get a little fizz. Im sitting drinking a...

I created some cider and some basic wine about 6 days ago. I made 5 litres of cider and 2 litres of wine. The wine finished fermenting very quickly as I used a whole packet of yeast and the cider stopped bubbling yesterday. Now, this is my first ever attempt at home brewing and I'm kind of...

I tightened it a bit more and you were right, loads of bubbling now, about 1 every 2 seconds :mug:

Well I went ahead and started a few fermentations to start me out. This is the first time I have ever attempted to make any sort of home brew. I currently have: 5 litre demijohn - 4.5 litres of apple juice, cider yeast 2 litre demijohn - 1 litres of apple juice, 1 litre of white grape...

Hello again, I have had the urge to create some Mead. I have ordered some equipment to allow me to brew cider and was thinking about trying my hand at some Mead while I'm at it. I will be getting some cider yeast (sb24) and was planning on using this to make my mead. Will this work...

Thanks for all the replies. I will purchase a hydrometer and read up on how to use that. One thing that I'm still a little confused about is the quantity of yeast I should use. I have read that people use 1 tea spoons worth, if that's correct is it a level tea spoon and also does it really...

Well I have been reading lately about home made cider using Apple Juice. I have ordered a 5 litre demijohn, Cider yeast, Cleaning tablets and an air lock. My plan is to create 4.5 litres of cider, If anyone has any step by step instructions they have used or created it would be great...
