Righ, here we go on my first ever post....
I started a 5 gallon fruit cider off about 10-12 days ago consisting of 1kg sugar, 15 litres juice (apple and fruit cartons), water to bring volume up to 22L and a packet of youngs cider yeast.
I've had a prety decent ferment that now seems to have slowed/finished but I'm not sure what to do next.....
Please jump in with suggestions as this is my first propper cider brew (kits dont count)...
what I was planning was:
.rack into a clean 5 gallon brew bin with a bubbler
.leave for a further 2 weeks and test gravity to confirm its stopped
.Bottle (with a quarter tea spoon of sugar per bottle)
.leave for 2 weeks then start drinking
so whats the general feeling on my plan and recipe?
cheers folks!
