Home Brew Cider

[dizzy02]

Hi,

Firstly I'm new to this home brewing concept and this forum stuff for that matter, so not sure if I'm writing in the right spot or not, but here goes anyway. Hopefully some1 can help this newby out.

I'm 6 days into a brigalow Cider kit fermintation, I followed the method on the can exactly and I was just wonderin wat 2 expect from it. It's currently at a sg of 1009. secondly if there any tips/tricks or recipes out there for this type of kit or any others cider kits?

Hi,

I am also newish to the cider world.

But I have made the following experiment...

-Non preserve aldi apple juice
-500g lactose
-Safale US-05 Ale Yeast,11.5g
-2kg of sugar

This brew was tasty enough and VERY alcoholic. Next time I am going to half the lactose and sugar (maybe use dextrose). I would also like to pasteurise some apple quarters and throw them in the fermenter.
