@@Geterbrewed Hi, I'm in the middle of making 8 litres from concentrated apple juice as a trial run that's going well. It started with an OG of 1.046 and the bubbler has started to slow today at day 7. I'm starting with a still cider then if alls well I'm going for 25 Litres of fizzy. I've messed with kits in the past with varying results but with apple juice, sugar and yeast(and a big mug of strong tea for tannin) you know what's in it.
This was a very cool walkthrough. We knew IBCs were used to ferment on a smaller scale; but, had no idea such a big producer would use so many IBCs to ferment their beverage! I wonder if they have had an issues over the over the years with certain apple juices or flavorings inside the plastic totes? We are picking up 6 totes this weekend........now we just have to figure out how to clean them!
@@Geterbrewedhi! I’m also a beginning professional tiny cider maker. 5000L /year. Now I only make dry cider. Could I force carbonate a sweet cider, bottle it and then submerge pasteurise it? That’s a lot of pressure on the bottles at 60degrees C?! How do big producers like this one it:)? Greetings from belgium!🎉
Greetings from Herzegovina, grape grower, winemaker here, keep up the good work. God Bless. (If one can still say this on the internet)
Absolutely brilliant videos. Keep em coming. I'm a newbie to homebrewing so I like to see the way these craftsmen/women are working.
Thanks so much
I'm new to the dark ancient art of Cider making. Brilliant insight into a modern family business. Buck it in ye!
Thanks , have you beer making cider from apples or from an extract kit?

Build your own CIP system
@@mysterioanonymous3206 We picked up a CIP spray ball...now we just have to learn how to use it! Thanks
Nice videos! What pasteurization technique do you use?
This particular company does submersion method, bottles in a cage that is submerged into a hot water bath. Do you produce Cider?

No airlock on the IBC cubes? I'm surprised
2200 ton of apples in a season. Wow.
