More Cider

December 16th, 2009 admin No comments

Working on getting the next batch of cider going. I should be starting it in the next two days or so. Not in time for christmas but perhaps in time for some new year fun :) I’ll be using Youngs cider yeast in two batches (one cloudy and one clear) and an ale yeast in another two batch, the same as the first two, one cloudy and one clear. I’ve been using juice from tesco’s that’s quiet cheap and the cloudy juice is pure pressed apple juice so none of the concentrate stuff. They have other juices, from concentrate, that would make nice cider style drinks, pear and peach being two I can think off :)

The last batch of cider had some strong hangover producing properties so I’ll be aiming to avoid that this time around. I belive it was left on the yeast cake too long last time and produced some undesirable alcohols :( Hopefully the move away from the super wine yeast will help that part.
