  • ^ 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.

  • 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.

  • Not really much to worry about, has been simple process. I haven't dabbled with sweetening it, as I enjoy it dry & sharp. If I was brewing more often & higher volume then i'd tinker more.

    Craft Cider Making by Andrew Lea is a good resource if you want to read around.
