Thanks brother! Appreciate the help!

Awesome. Too late to use it now? Ferment is essentially over.

Thanks for the info Maylar. Much appreciated! The clarity of the Cider is not really that big of deal to me so I won't worry about fining agents. Just out of curiosity what does the peptic enzyme do in the original process? Obviously you are using it for clarity but how does it achieve this and...

Hi gents, Just quick question here. I know it is a contentious subject about the pros and cons but seeming though, via my work, I am influenced by the wineworld and racking is standard procedure so I have racked my cider into a Secondary 15L Demi-John. My question is, at this point in time is...

What additives will kill the yeast btw?

Thanks heaps guys. I appreciate the advice and support and the patience shown to my newbie questions haha. BTW so does anyone have an opinion on the carb drops I attached the photos of on the last page? yay? Nay? Apple juice concentrate as both a sweetner and primer? The Apple Schnapps essence...

Hmmm so essentially I need to prime the bottles with a fermentable sugar to carbonate and then stop (via refrigeration) the bottle fermentation at a certain point (no idea when that would be) to stop the yeast consuming the rest of the sugar/sweetness? In this case, would it simply be best...

Sorry mate, could you elaborate on this a little bit. I don't think I quite get it haha sorry! :confused:

Ok cheers for the advice mate. Just a quick one about carbonation and flavour. When I have finished the 2nd ferment in the Demi-John and am ready to bottle I have garnered that I have a couple of options here for both taste augmenting and carbing. Taste: If the taste is rather dry but not...

If my airlock hasn't moved as described above but the hissing/bubbling sounds seem still to be steadily and occurring regularly how will I know when Ferment is done? The fermenter isn't clear so sight is out. i was given advice on here that the only way to tell is using a Hydrometer... To do a...

Ok gotcha. To do a Hydrometer test now would mean having to open the fermenter right? I know this a controversial topic but will opening it to do a Hydro reading effect the process? How often should the Hydro test be done? Also, I have acquired a 15L demi john to rack off into for secondary...

Ok thanks for the advice gents! Really appreciate it. I will grab myself a smaller Demi-John for racking. How long should I wait till doing so btw?

I did do a gravity measurement. I will do the check in a day or so if nothing's changed. Cheers :mug:

Hi gents, I'm sure you get these posts constantly from panicked new Cider makers and this one will be no different haha. The problem: No bubbles through airlock. Just a preface as I am an Aussie all the measurements etc. in the details will be in Metric ;) The details: I grabbed two...
