Hi I had a couple of questions regarding brewing cider any help is appreciated.
I was wondering can I use 100% apple juice ( no preservatives ) pitch the yeast let it ferment completely in a 30 L (8 gallon ) screw lid fermenter then bottle it and add carbonation drops ( for a carbonated cider) and bottle age it? The same as beer? I don't mind a bit of yeast sediment in the bottle.
Will that be OK?
Also please see the attached photo I fermented (am fermenting) the apple juice in the bottles the juice came in (sorry it is dark) now my question is once fermentation is complete can I just cap the bottles they are in and age them in those bottles? (again I don't mind the sediment) this time for a still cider? or is there too much air in there or something else? If there is too much air or something can I just funnel them into smaller bottles with no air to age?
The lids on the bottles are not fully screwed on in case your worried about my safety!
I like to keep it simple if possible.
Thanks for any responses and sorry if all this has been covered before.
