    Thanks ten for your reply, much appreciated. Would there be any harm in putting a new lid on the barrel to see if that is where the leak is as not a peep on the airlock?

    Hi, the seeded barell is bubbling away but the natural barell, still not a peep. Took hydro reading and both read 1.3 so both must be fermenting? Natural one darker in colour and sweeter. Both nice though . If there is a leak should I change the lid, have a spare one. Cheers

    Thanks for all the replies ;) Not worrying really, just wanted to ensure that it wasn't too cold to ferment. Never fermented au natural and not on the same scale. Sure will just leave alone and see how it looks again in a few weeks. Out of curiosity, what kind of timeframe would you reckon it...

    Thanks I was incorrect on the first measurement, it read 1.045 but that was taken straight after pressing and only off one of the buckets going into the barrel. Reading of 1.050 was taken tonight from juice taken from tap of full barell. Should I wrap the barrels in a duvet or something similar...

    Yes. Measured 1040 when pressed. Could it be that the drums are taking longer to heat up as more liquid in them. Night's have been frosty recently as well.

    Hi. I pressed apples on 15th oct and ended up with 330 litres of juice. The juice was split between 2 (140) litres drums, a 20 litre bucket and a 30 litre keg.
