  • After donating to Moss Cider last year we are fermenting ourselves this year. We pressed 5l apple juice yesterday all from our "eater" tree.

    A trip to julies home brew got us the bits missing, mainly campden tabs, yeast, and an airlock. Got a funky bottle brush for our v.dirty demijohns (from the garden, pictured) but using a new dj for this batch.

    Campden Tablet in tonight, GV13 yeast tomorrow. Rough Hydrometer test suggests it could hit 6.5% if all the sugar ferments.

    I've a feeling this'll be a learning batch.

    Question: Would you brew with apples from a public cemetery? We have access to about a dozen trees unpicked, deep red colour apples too. Just seems disrespectful though...?

    The dead don't give a shit...

    Also, try cleaning stuff like that with a Oxyclean solution. Works a treat on all my gungy DJ's.

  • We never got round to cemetery pick, maybe next year. Them demi-johns are gleaming now, thanks for the tips.
