First Cider for me.

[Axegod]

I drove by a country place thgat sells cider. (Bennetts near Hamilton)
I actually used to go to this place when my grandfather used to sell his left over apples for press. (over 30 years ago)

So I thought it would be a good time to try a cider "brew".

19L of no-preservative, pasturized cider.
1 pkt of montrachet dry wine yeast.
4 tsp of peptic enzyme.
1 tsp of yest nutirent.
OG: 1.059 (temp corrected).

I am still debating the on if I should carbonate this....I guess I got a while to decide.

We'll see how this goes.


Cheers.

I am fermenting this @ about 70F, using Montrachet yeast.
Any idea while this almost foamed over? Is this from the peptic enzyme working on the crud?
I am using a blow off tube now.

Cheers.
