Hi guys, thanks for the info, however, it is no problem, because I have started drinking it now and it is real scrumpy. Just had half a pint and it is nice and dry with a hint of the teaspoon of sugar in the bottle. Here's to a great night yeehaa. Ivor

Hi chaps, an update. Well dj1 had almost stopped bubbling at about 1 bubble every 10 seconds so I have bottled it with a teaspoon of sugar in each bottle. Thanks to you guys for the advice because I have got myself so far 4 ltrs of delicious quite dry, amazingly strong cider. Just from...
