OK, I know some people may not want to answer me, thats fine. I tried the suggestion of putting yeast in a 2ltr bottle of apple cidar. My question is, what do I do now that it has fermented? Do I transfer it into another 2 ltr bottle and prime it with dextrose or just drink it as it is?
I do this a lot, and it is personal taste but here is my process.
2lt bottle of home brand apple jiuce (non refrigerated), remove 1/2 a cup for head space, I replace the lid with my home made version of something like oztops to carbonate it while it ferments (retains the carbonation from initial fermentation) and stop the bottle blowing up.
I add yeast, and dex or honey to taste (about 4 tablespoons for every litre but this is optional), or if you want sweeter use apple and pear juice as the pear wont ferment out.
I swirl the bottle regularly (whenever I pass it) and fermentation starts in a day or so, and then leave for another 3-4 days (any longer and it will be very dry but taste as you go and stop it when it tastes right for you).
To stop fermentation you put it in the fridge...you can then leave and seal with a good lid for a few days then drink after it settles, or do as I do and pour off into 750ml PET bottles very lightly primed (1/2 teaspoon) of dex or honey, leave this another 24 hours and then refrigerate.
Have some fun with it, basically you stop the fermentation by refrigeration, and can drink as is or bottle it as I do...it is trial and error and to taste so do what works for you.
You can also use grape juice to get a very nice sparkling Lambrusco!
This is a very simplified version of my process, but the thing is you can keep it very simple and make a very nice cider!
