Hi there! I am new to cider making, having taken possesion of an allotment this year that has two big apple trees on it.
I have collected loads of apples and have bought a 5 gallon barrel and 2 demijons. I reckon I've got in the region of 50lbs of apples so I reckon about 2-3 gallons of juice. Is it ok to put all the juice in the 5 gallon barrel and ferment it in there? Will it matter that the barrel is only half full? Would the air in the barrel give me a problem? Should I just use the demijons?
Many thanks for any help and feedback?
