Evening all!
I'm on the cusp of brewing up my first batch of cider from my own trees (Bramley/Worcester Pearmain + whatever crabs I can scrounge from the hedgerow). I'm looking to make a 5gal batch. Basic recipe (juice + a nice cup of tea).
Two questions:
1) Can I use a pressure barrel to mature and store the cider? I'd prefer not to have to fiddle with bottles if I can avoid it.
2) How long will I need to store/mature my brew?
Cheers,
Chuffy
