Hey there! Making my first Cider tomorrow and wondering if I should use Campden Tablets or not. I've got the following:
Given that the unpasteurized stuff isn't the bulk of my must, was considering just letting the wild yeasts do their thing along with my White Labs English Cider Yeast.
Is this a bad idea? Don't mind a little funk (love sour beers), but don't want any off flavors either.
- 3 gallons of unfiltered, pasteurized cider from the store
- 1.5 gallons of fresh unfiltered granny smith apple juice (no preservatives, unpasteurized, juiced at a grocery store)
- .5 gallons of fresh unfiltered apple, ginger & lemon juice (no preservatives, unpasteurized, juiced at a grocery store)
