Gday guys, im a massive fan of cider and i just started brewing beer/ciders from kits only at the moment. Was just wondering if there was a way that i could make a kit cider and make a way to make it cloudy cheers lads

Regarding boiling the hops in water and malt, will dry malt extract be okay? I jyst dont have a jar of malt extract lying around

Ahh right, thats a bit to take in but cheers for the info. The blondes been sitting on 22C since i pitched it Quick question: how you say 2 kits 2 yeast, i just thought the 2nd kit was replacing the dextrose sugars.

Perfect. thanks heaps, thats exactly what i needed to know. im not going to do it with the canadian blonde because it doesnt need it it smells strong and great but iv got a bavarian wheat going atm and that has no smell at all so i recon ill dry hop it tonight or tomorrow. Damn i love these...

the sanitiser is the "beer essentials" that I get from brewcraft but it doesn't say anything about re-use, might just go get some starsan, I hear good things about it yeah I nearly didn't take out the airlock before opening the tap for the first time, I got most of what little I know off the...
