Hi there,
Like many of these posts I'm new to the cider game. I Juiced 20l of organic apples from my Grandmas orchid, they were a real mix of sweet and cooking. Added a few crushed campden tablets and left for nearly 48hrs. Then made a yeast starter with champagne yeast and checked the O.G which was at 1.055.....which was about right for my as I wanted a cider about 6%. I poured in the yeast starter and mixed well in a bucket fermenter, steeled and added an airlock. The juice was left in the dark at about 20 degrees Celsius. The strange thing is I haven't heard any bubbling at all....but I checked the s.g and its at 1.011. So is it fermenting? There's no foam or any of the velocity I had expected.... Thinking of bottling and priming soon but not sure if any things happened?
Please help!!
