So heres the low down, I made up a cider kit, nevewr read the gravity at the start. Left it for a week until it stopped bubbling and the gravity was 1010 , added some flavouring that came with it, stirred it up (which made it go cloudy btw), syphoned it into a keg with 60g of caster sugar (22.5 ltrs of cider btw) and screwed the lid on. It has now been sitting in the hallway for 6 days. I poured a bit today and it was a little carbonated but not that much.. so i put a charge into the keg and tried it again. My problem is this.. first of all when i tried it it smelt really yeasty and it tasted the same too. Secondly, its very cloudy, it says to cool it down to clear it but the kegs too big for the fridge so maybe outside? And finally, i want to put it into bottles now, i was going to stick some sugar in there so they go fizzy again.. will it work?
I know its alot of questions and reading.. but i really want to start getting into the homebrew trend!
Im off to get bottles and caps tomorrow morning.
