Brigalow Apple Cider

[Dan A]

Hi,

I put on a batch of Brigalow apple cider yesterday and have noticed that there has been no bubbling as yet, does apple cider generally take a little longer to get going than beer?.

I used the yeast and nutrient that came with the can.

I put one (Brig Ap Cid) down yesterday and was bubbling with a couple of hours of yeast addition. Created vortex and added dried yeast straight out of the sachet.

Bubble rate (as we speak) about 36-40 per min.

hi,
from my experience,cider has been slower to start fermenting. it helps to start the yeast with sugar and a small amount of warm water . this proves the yeast is ok ,and that it has not had a damaging experience such as high temperature. time wise a yeast starter can save you several days.

i have not used the nutrient ,assuming diamonium phosphate, however this would help fermentation.


cheers, alan

Actually it started to bubble up last night, was bubbling this morning when I had a look, so just a slow starter.
