Hi all,
I want to make a simple trial batch using wild fermentation and want to do it as simply as possible.
I'll be using windfall apples.
I'll be using a 20L Speidel fermenter that has all the accessories.
My question is, can I ferment and age all in the Speidel without transferring to a secondary fermenter?
Going for a scrumpy style cider.
Howmuch space is it safe to leave at the top after primary fermentation is done?
I'm figuring on 15 liters of juice to allow space at the top but is that too much and risking oxidation after primary fermentation assuming I can do the all in one fermenter method.
Thanks!
