now that one of my FV's is freed up at last (after a whole month haha), thanks to my pomegranate WOW... it's cider time...
22.5l Lidl Vitafit apple (15 x 1.5l @
88p each)
1l strong tea
5tsp pectolase
500gish of sugar ðŸËË
100ml or so of Lowicz cherry (will use rest of 440ml bottle to prime)
5g Gervin GV13 cider yeast (first time used)
OG 1.055 (est abv 7.2%, 8% after priming)
Dissolved sugar in 6l of apple (warmed up in a pan), added rest of apple to FV (temp of apple from cartons was about 20deg !), so waiting for it to cool down a bit from 26 before I pitch the yeast
carnage in the kitchen (well until I tidied up) haha
