Hi all,
I have a press, 22 gallons of freshly pressed cider, three large carboys with vents and the other tools for making wine (I don't make wine, someone gave me the kit when they moved out of state).
After doing a lot of reading, I am curious which direction to head with my first batch of cider. My plan is to take one large carboy (maybe two) and fill it to where the neck begins of fresh cider. The cider I have was pressed two days ago and is refrigerated now but I could press more to put right in the carboy if that is better.
So, do I add yeast or do I let natural yeast do the job? Which is better and why or is it pretty much a preference thing?
Thanks!
