Glad it's turned out good Jock90 - Remember that tree for next year's cider! :)

Bill, I'm trying to avoid picturing that image in my head! *shudder* :D

The fact you have CO2 and it collects in the racking cane isn't a problem. Just be patient when syphoning, it'll be fine. Just to clarify my earlier post N3WWN I should have mentioned that you don't really need to add campden to a cider that's just being racked a third time (after only a...

Mine's 'Sex appeal and droll acorn' or (even more worryingly) 'Explored anal canal drops'........ Anyone fancy a pint from the EACD Brewery? Me neither.....:D

Always crush campden tablets - then rack your cider on top of the powder. Trying to stir them to dissolve in a glass carboy isn't easy!:D

On top of Odin's advice I'd also suggest adding some yeast nutrient if you have any to hand, don't worry if you don't have any however. I am suprised that your LHBS suggested a lager yeast though - I've never heard of anyone using it in cider. I have no idea how that'll ferment (and I'm not too...

Try the Wittenham Hill Cider Portal Some amazing cider info from a guy with his own orchard in the UK.

As turkey fryers (with at least a half decent BTU burner and a good sized pot to match) aren't available in the UK I'm gonna vote Marxist. Unless Evan! can post worldwide and fancies losing big time on postage?............... Okay, that's a no.:D

Yeah right!!!!:D

It doesn't sound good I'll admit. As it was a UV treated juice you didn't need sulphite but the amount you added and the time lapse before pitching yeast wouldn't have made a difference. What temp are you trying to ferment them at? I'd guess fine if you're done a stout recently and it's not too...

It's 21:50hrs here. Lunch was a sandwich. I haven't bothered with Dinner. A few ciders drunk. Not in a 'food mood' today.....

Never understood the 'chilli thing' with men really. Why do we love it??? I've grown/dried/made pastes to freeze etc with chillies using mainly Asian/North African/Far East recipes. When I can get my hands on a cheap tortilla press and a comal I'll start looking far south west too!:D

Mmmm. When that hits the stomach just think of the little mini cheese factory gurgling and churning around inside you......

"The curse of the HBT Moderator.... Heed my words, NEVER become a mod on here....(Imagine the lightening and thunderstrike at this point)....(and then my twisted face grimacing at you with the horror of the curse)". Alternatively Dude may just be busy with the new house as you said.:D

You hit it on the head here really. Cheese mentioned having a 'Pet Wolf'. All dogs are just that, what ever size or breeding. They look to the Top Dog in the pack. They need a BOSS. A PERSON!!! That's where a lot of people fail. THE BOSS should be a RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNER. THEY'RE responsible...

Sulphites and sorbates are the main 'Added Chemicals' used in home wine making. Both are perfectly okay to use if you follow the instructions properly. I'm no fan of 'adding chemicals for the sake of it' but always use sulphite (Campden) in my wines (and any other brew based on whole fruit)...

Maybe not but with the looks of it you write fantastic existentialist poetry!:D

:off: He's my Staffordshire Bull Terrier (with full UK KC papers). He looks like 'that type of dog' (you mean American Pitbull I guess) on my avatar but he isn't. He's my 'Damn dog....' so I guess I have to love him!:D

*Caplan falls off chair* Bl**dy h*ll! Didn't think many US guys had heard them! Classic UK post punk stuff, very dark but strangely uplifting (for me at least).

My paid membership was running out last week and I chipped up again - Then Bill became Gold.......Got me worried I'd bought my biggest pain in the a**e a membership by accident! :D Good to see you've paid up Bill, most of this forum is taken up with you using the :drunk: smilie!:mug:
