  • ^ how was it? Hangover?

    Bottled my 2017 cider brewing last couple nights. First 5l batch is great, 2nd 5l which included some cookers and lower starting sg seems to be suffering from a but of autolysis, also had a small film on surface but I siphoned from under that carefully. Not undrinkable but nowhere near as tasty and at least 4 possible causes. I won't let the cider sit on its lees so long this year before racking it, which could help.

  • Not as grapefruity as real Elvis Juice. I'll see, after a couple of months in the shed, what it's really like.

    And, yes, the next morning was 'difficult' ...

  • Any watch-outs on the cider, apart from what you’ve mentioned here? Getting my first brew on tomorrow. Done a few beers previously with good results, quite looking forward to what seems to be a simpler process.
