Fermenter

[Patricktsmith]

I am about to begin making my own cider.
And in all instructions ive read everyone ferments the cider in glass jugs with an airlock cap.
would i be able to ferment the sider in 15l fermenter that i used to ferment beer in? instead of the glass jugs?

why not...its make of glass....check....it can have an airlock attached to it.....check.


ding ding ding...we have a winner....what do we have for him Johnny!?

in all seriousness, just make sure you dont have a crapload of headspace and you'll be fine.

go for it- ferment in anything clean, rack into any clean vessel(s) with no headspace as secondary. big wine jugs fitted with airlocks are good. or else bottle straight away after fermentation is done, but make sure it is finished.
