HI guys,
just bought this william tell apple cider kit (dry), and can't find much information on it. The HBS person didn't know much about them either, other than it was a popular seller... so i took a chance.
I wanted to know of anyone else's experience with cider??
it doesn't mention anywhere what the SG would be when made up, and therefore what the alocholic content is going to be once fermented. There is no mention of adding dextrose (i would love to give it some punch), and i would also like to use something other than the yeast sachet that came with it, ie safale or saflager. My guess is that safale would probably be fine???
Also, 1.7kg kit only makes 15 litres, i would really like to get it above 20L, so should i just add some more apple juice (non preservative) in the ratio of 25% more? or dextrose?
any tips would be much appreciated. cheers
