Re: Cider

The cider is very good this year. A little more sulphur than I remember, but it does blow off quick. My fermentation technique is to simply replace the cap with an air lock. This way I can freeze the extra gallons and ferment them when I need. It has plenty of wild yeast, Russ, you just need more faith ;->. I drink mine after 4-5 days and try to finish it up before it gets too dry (2 weeks). Jason, you can sweeten it and when you get the gravity where you want it, you can knock down the yeast with campden tablets or potassium metabisulphate available at local hb stores. -- --------------------------------------------- Michael Valentiner, Minneapolis, Minnesota mvalentiner(a)yuck.net
