should i add the finnings first and leave for 24 of just wack the lot in?

hang so for a 5 gallon batch im looking at 3kg of charcoal? thats seems a shed load - im begining to think i may just bin this - ive done a comprehensive google and just cant fing any reference to quantities.

cheers - did you just add the charcoal or do you pass the liquid though it - i gather you just sling it in - is that before or after the finnings?

i bought the yeast separately to the carbon - the bag is 1.7lts seems an awful lot to drop in - ?

Aaah well its a little more ive 2 dj that are 2 weeks old - one thats 10 days and 1 thats 5 days perhaps i can combine all of them.

im about to decant my first gallon to keg - how much sugar should i add to make it fizzy ? fank oooo

Have just run a batch not quite sure what im going to do with it but i gather after 5 days i need to add activated charcoal to take any flavour out then add finnings. Does anyone know how much charcoal i should add to 5 litres. Oh and secondly any ideas what to do with gallons of the stuff - i...

Excellent folks thanks for the advice - time to make another batch. thanks again :thumb: :cheers:

smashing thanks so at what phase to you add the campden? do you wait for the cider to clear - before bottling? i was looking to decant into a keg ? and final question - when do you add the suger for fizz cheers :D :cheers:

hmmm prob a bit too high and taste awful - ok cheers for that. Next daft question - when do i add the camden tablets ? do i need to add finings? or pectolase? Sorry but its my first time - thanks guys

cheers If i were to mix 500 grams of sugar in with the last litre of apple juice (total in DJ of 5l) - would that be ok ? or would that kill the yeast?

ok 2 days in - put 4 litres in with yeast and nutrient - both still bubbling away like a good'un is it time now to add the last litre ? and id like to make it a bit stronger how can i do that cheers folks :thumb:

Thats brilliant Tony just what i was looking for cheers :cheers: Im probably being a plank but what amount of yeast should i use and when you say at 25c i gather you wait until its at that temp and what does pitch mean. sorry for the questions but its a crash course for me.

cheers from what i gather you add 4 lts to a demijon with the yeast and nutrient shake leave for 48 hours then add the rest? Incidentally whats GP yeast ? Can i decant it into a pressurised barrell as opposed to bottling up. thanks
