First batch of cider. It’s a pineapple cider recipe. Right now it’s been fermenting for 4 days. Got Rhino Farts like crazy lol... gonna try and be patient and let it age after I rack it to a secondary. But I’m gonna need luck and strength to make it lol.

Well, actually there was one more half bottle, but . . . Damn it's good.
 
View media item 70995Here is a pic from my last home cider tasting. I served up my Manchurian crab apple blend, passion fruit vanilla bean, golden raspberry, and POG ( pineapple, blood orange, pink guava). All were fermented dry with different yeasts, then fruited in the secondary with fresh fruit or purée.

First ever batch of anything fermented. EdWort's Apfelwein, though since I aquired 6 gallon carboys I did 6 gallons of juice vs his 5. Kept the 2 lbs of dextrose he adds instead of scaling it with the extra gallon of juice. Started Tuesday evening.

Dispite him saying it wouldn't need a lot of room or a blowoff I ended up fitting one this morning as the bubbles threatened to enter the airlock. They reached and touched the stopper around noon, then retreated and appear to be going away, though the CO2 production remains steady or is increasing.

Guess I'll keep a tad more headspace next go.

Iodophor solution, not juice, in the blowoff tube bucket.
 
First pint from the keg of my homebrew cider. Just simple apple juice from the store with some saison yeast. So tasty for such a simple process!

First batch done whilst in lockdown. Kit used from whatever I could find around the house 😁 used Pasteurized apple juice 4lts and some bakers yeast but to be honest no scummy head but lots of bubbling. I stopped it after 5 days and in the fridge now after taking Out of the fermenter. There is certainly a bit of a vinegar/yeast taste but not overpowering....so what did i do. Went out and bought a different pasteurized apple juice, a different yeast and wow what a difference. Not even 24hrs and it’s fermenting like a mofo.
unfortunately no abv tester at hand to see what I’m pulling but you can certainly feel it on the 1st batch and that’s just testing......
overall very happy and having a great science experiment with beneficial results....I have the bug of home brewing 😁👍
