HAHAH I can understand your feelings. But dont knock it till you give it a go. I also press my own juice from a friends small orchard with that its totally different but when using a cheap tastless juice just to make something 4-5% with some sulphur/cider tones bread yeast does the trick(Dont...

Sounds great. For me, my go to is Aldi juice and bread yeast (worked out so great in my JAO i thought id use it) now done at least 20 of these and found it has more body then ale yeasts. 2 weeks to crystal clear in primary, Keg (if you could be bothered) I dont bother with carbing just connect...

Paid, Ta Troopa

I wouldnt use distilled .. typically distilled water isnt safe to drink as its had a heap of the minerals removed On the original topic though i have started utilising the 17litre FWK containers that you can buy from Grain and grape or Kegking(i have 6 or so now from lazy brewing) I only use...

Have you started doing protien rests or using wheat? Both cause me no end off issues in my old GA recipe with the protien caking onto the element then burning on during the boil

You could use Bread yeast.... Look up The JAO mead recipe while you at it. I've found this yeast rather versatile and is my go to yeast for ciders ive also used it in Brown's and blacks as it gives that hit of body and flavour that High attenuated yeasts don't

Aldi apple juice 2L bottles and a single 2L of apple blackcurrent to what ever volume your making up to ... i find one bottle of the apple/blackcurrent enough to start with and then play around last few times it has left it pretty sweet with a deep color (For me) Cant go wrong for $22 and some...
