Hi all. For the 3rd time now my cider is going bad at the first fermentation stage. I wash the plastic keg with a capfull of bleach and plenty of hot water. I use fresh apples. I use the correct proportion of wine yeast as sold and recomended by brewcraft here in Melbourne. The cider develops a...

Hi guys. When bottling Cider in new bottles do I need to steralize the bottles at all? The bottles have not been used before. I got them from a DIY brewer shop. Also I have been advised to add 140 gm of sugar per 20 Lt for carbonation. Is that right?

So its been steady at 1000 on the hydrometer for a few daus now. Does that mean that the cider is 0% alcohol? And should I leave it for another feww weeks in the fermentation stage

well I just checked the hydrometer after 4 days of fermenting. It is sitting at 1000 now. Does that mean that the cider is ready for racking already? And what alchohol% is it now?

Well the Hydrometer when I pit it in the mix after adding the yeast said 1050. What should it say when its time to Rack it?

Hi guys. I have the apple juice sitting in vats with the yeast and yeast nutrient. How long should I leave it now before racking it? Some one told me 4 weeks. Is this right?

Ok thanks guys. I see on Ebay there are a few auctions for Coopers long necks. Could I use coopers stubbies ?

Ok. I wonder why the guy on the phone at Craftbrewer told me I need stronger bottles. It will be carbonated after fermentation yes. Where can I buy these bottles from on line?

Hi all, Can anyone tell me where to find suitable apple cider bottles? I have read that I need to have proper cider bottles that are of a higher strength than beer bottles. Can you tell me what other options I have for bottling if any?
