They generally leave the shitty bits to more advanced learners.

Finished my ‘try and see’ cider batch. Three kinds of apples from the yard, juiced at the juicers, plus a homeopathic 22 g/L pale ale malt. Fermented to fully dry in 17 days at 14 C and 1,8 bar. After that a couple days at 2,5 C to clear it out. Plenty of forced carbonation. Came out a bit mild, like a dry white wine, but that made it easy to drink. Gave most of it away in 3 L bags, because I want to get the vessel empty and get a beer going.

Lesson learned: much more acidic apples next time, and the malt wort needs to be as concentrated as possible so it doesn’t dilute the apple juice.

Now is proper.

…already chuckling at the jaw drop of seeing a row of speed multiplier changes that produces a murderously funky shuffle groove 😁

Read other people’s mods. Worked for me back in the day :)

Couldn’t help myself, a little bit of malt went in along with a helping of dark syrup, to the effect of 2 ml syrup per litre of ol’ scrumpadillo. Very lively fermentation already on day 6 (at 16 °C). Wishing you the best of luck with yours :)

I too did the juicing station run last week. First attempt at cider forthcoming. I’ll try a malted cider with 1/6 of the malt I use for beer. That should provide the yeast with healthy nutrition.

Superb colour-picking skills 👍

This! Made nice labels for the first few batches but surely it’s better to keep it craft and sharpie on 😁

nice produce OP!
