Hi all how are you, new here and need some advice.
This year is my first time brewing cider, and to be honest I have only brew wine twice so very new to it all. I have a problem I think.
This is how it is 4 demijohns of apple juice (pressed myself) numbered 1-4
1, Juice with cider yeast and yeast nutrient, started to bubble/work under 24 hours. no problems.
2, Juice with Champaign yeast and yeast nutrient, Took a little longer but is now working away.
next 2 just messing.
3, Juice, Cider yeast, yeast nutient, 1/2 pound of white sugar, Nothing at all happening, put in warm room still nothing.
4, Juice, Champaign yeast, yeast nutrient, 1 pound of dark brown suger, it's taken a while to start but now is bubbleing away.
3 and 4 I just really added the suger and hoped for the best, I'm sure you cider makers will think I'm crazy just throwing in suger like that.
Any ideas why no 3 won't get going there is no sign of nothing. I'm begining to worry did I add the yeast
