Hello,
I got a wine starter kit for Christmas and gave it a go. This has sparked an interest as there seems much more to brewing than this kit has let on. Any who, I decided to start as simple as poss and make a Supermarket Juice Cider.
All things sterilized. This is where I'm upto.
2 litres Apple and Blackcurrant Juice (No preservatives and from concentrate)
1 litre Apple Juice (No preservatives and from concentrate)
About 200g/1 Cup of brewing sugar (to give a potential alcohol reading of 10% on hydrometer)
1tsp Champagne yeast
1tsp Yeast Nutrient
1tsp Pectolase
In a one gallon demijon, its bubbling away nicely and I intend to add a further 1 litre of Apple Juice in a couple of days.
This is purely an experiment for a better personal understanding but any advice on weather or not to stabilise once fermented out or not, or other various pointers and tips would be more than welcome.
Cheers.
