Did a cider with:
-15 kg of apples, mostly Ida Reds (sweet)
will press juice, looking for 6-7 litres of juice (?)
- 5 litres of pure apple juice ( http://www.harboe-international.com/en/Products/Juices/Pure Apple Juice.aspx )
400 grams of glucose : ( http://www.homebrewwest.ie/glucose-vinoferm-1-kg-1718-p.asp )
Wyeast 4766 yeast ( http://www.wyeastlab.com/rw_yeaststrain_detail.cfm?ID=62 )
Actually had a slight misfortune with the yeast. I put a package of it but did not start fermenting after 48 hours. Then I read the back of the yeast-package and it told to first break a small plastic thingey inside the bag - I did not do it first time just threw it away lol. Then I put the other yeast like it should be - and now it has fermented five days really lively
I figured that the excess yeast would not be problem and thought I would just let it sit at least 2 weeks before bottling. Am I wrong with this?
I tried to measure gravity but could not get a read because the sample was so sugary the meter did not fit in the tube
So any ideas how strong this should turn out and is the double yeast a problem?
