Hi guys, so i have just gotten into making cider and invested in a couple of 5l carboys. Now I plan in using wyeast 4766 for my cider however the packs are made for 23L brews, can I use 1/4 of the yeast for each cider I put down? Can I store the remainder of yeast without compromising it? Cheers !

Hi guys, just signed up to this Very informative brewing website and have made my first batch of Blackrock cider. tasted it, definatly needs longer. not sure if it will be sweet enough for me. in the meantime, i've grown to love Somersby cider, it's like drinking freshly picked apples with...

What yeast do you prefer & how were your results with each yeast ? I'm about to have a go at some cider after seeing apple juice on sale at coles (and all you bastards inspiring me). I have 18L of juice; 4 x 3L apple & 2 x 3L apple & berry. I have safale S04 on hand and wondering if it will...

The missus wants me to brew cider for her. Can I do that? Sure you can. Cider is easy. It's even easier than beer. Cool! She wants something like Rekorderlig. Can I do that? That's a bit harder. Those ciders need a bunch of extra processing to make them come out so sweet. Its really hard to...

I have 21L of woolworths brand apple-juice currently doing some nice bubbling away So I've been doing some googling and some aussiehomebrewering and have come to the understanding that letting cider sit in a PLASTIC secondary fermenter for longer than ~6months is not ideal. Can anyone comment...

Hello and greetings from Guildford, England. I have made a post to the Welcome Forum. However, two of your good countrymen have suggested that non-beer-brewing is where i should be, so here goes again. Please have a look at our short YouTube video, Cider making made simple at home. . Yes...

Hey guys, Hoping we aren't all sick of cider threads just yet, as I'm another newbie he needs a (hopefully quick) hand. I've done a few beer brews now, and SWMBO and the housemates are demanding if I'm gonna be taking up common area all the time brewing and bottling they get something out of...

Hey gang, Sorry for creating another cider post, I see there are a million here already, but I figure one more can't hurt. I'm still very new to this whole brewing gig, so I'm a tad confused and don't want to stuff this up. I want to make the batch at around 5% to 8% alcohol content. I was...

Hey guys, I just put down a batch of cider using juice and thought I might share my results as they come along. I'm by no means an experienced brewer so I certainly won't be great for giving advice but I thought other might wnat to know how it turns out. So after some research I chose Wyeast...

Not a bad article esp for those starting out in cider http://www.goodfood.com.au/good-food/drink/the-truth-about-cider-20130211-2e823.html?location=Melbourne Its great to see craft ciders its just a shame about their BS price tag. $22 for a 500ml bottle is highway robbery. But im sure people...

Sorry if this is the wrong forum, it seemed the most fitting, feel free to move it mods. I've recently gotten started in winemaking and brewing in general. I've been keeping fairly good records as I want to be able to repeat and great successes and obviously avoid repeating failures. I've...

I've had a turbo cider going for over 3 weeks now and although there was a lot of activity in the first week the hydrometer is now reading somewhere around 1.016 which seems a little high to me. Is this normal with S04 or should I add some more yeast perhaps? Tastes nice and sweet which is...

Hi all, I'm newish to home brew and a total noob to ciders. I've read a few threads on here about beginner cider brewing in 4/5L glass demijohns and it just so happens I can get my hands on one very easily. Can anyone suggest a basic noob proof cider recipe for a 5L demijohn? I don't mind if...
