Really quick question about cider and beer equipment

[Brewbie]

Hi Folks
Can I use the same equipment for both (I know I had to get new for SHMBO wine)?
Cheers

Yes, I use the same fermenters, syphons, funnels, buckets, jugs etc for beer, wine and cider. Just make sure you use a good cleaner-steriliser.

I don't ferment cider in my main beer ones I use an 18L water bottle that you'll see on office water dispensers.. :thumb:

These are great but the ones without the moulded handle are better. :thumb:

Hmmmm what a great way to acquire a substitute carboy.

Funny how when you start home brewing you suddenly get an eye for all things around you you never would have glimpsed twice at. I've successfully been acquiring a load of collapsible plastic crates used by super markets to carry veges, take no space to store and can fit 54 x 330ml bottles nicely :-)
