Hi all, first time starting out with cider, previously made wine but i've bought the following;
Cider Equipment Pack Contents;
I've seen a few videos on how to make it step by step, i ideally want to make very strong cider scrumpy as such - something around 7-10% i understand extra sugar makes it "stronger", what type of sugar is best? if anyone has any advice, do's and dont's etc i'd appreciate the help.
Thanks
Cider Equipment Pack Contents;
- 25L Fermenting Vessel with Lid and hole and grommet for airlock for your primary fermentation.
- Airlock that fits into your fermenting vessel lid.
- Sanitiser Cleaner (also bought extra separate for future)
- Syphon Tube with pinch valve to control the flow
- Long Handled Spoon for mixing up your brew
- Cider Yeast x 2, each sachet can ferment up to 23 litres. (i bought a further 3 separate packets)
- Bottles x 10 clear 1 litre food grade bottles, designed for holding pressure which is essential with home brew.
- Bought separate yeast nutrients - as i heard this helps keep the yeast fresher and helps speed the process
- Home brew heating pad (As i plan on doing this in the garage and it'll be rather cold)
- Hydrometer to test strength (never done this before)
