Being watching cider making videos all day. Your was the dest. Simple, presented clearly and precisely. Great job
Thanks so much 👍.
Best video on making cider. Thanks so much. I really enjoy your videos
Thanks do much Jeanie!
I wastchen a lot of videos. Yours is the 1st that explains racking. Thanks
Glad it was useful 👍
Thanks for making this simple!
Hey I can only manage simple 😁👍
You big fibber! The swing-top bottles just make a deeply satisfying "flub!" when you open them. 😉😘
Flub 😂. That's the EXACT noise. I really do like them because there are no crowns to buy and they just keep going!
Fantastic teacher Hugh. Loved this. Excellent tips
Glad it was helpful!
best channel on RUclips!!!
Thanks Jason!
Another great video! Love watching!
Loved it!
Thanks Sara!
Seen loads of cider vids. Most go into overdrive with esoteric tech. This is by far the best and easy to understand and, as it should be! Thank you guys. Easy presentation style too. Have subscribed.
Thanks so much Kim - and welcome to the channel!
Great video! thanks for this!
You are very welcome!
Great and very informative video! Thanks :-)
Thank you!
Hi there. Brilliant. I'm looking after my mom away from my home and lovely videos like this help me with my home sickness. Though I think whilst I'm away I'm going to try making a fancy apple chutney... Take care.
I do love making chutney! Caramalised onion is my favourite 😉
Great couple of videos! I'd love a video about applejack if you're ever interested! 🍏🍎🥴💫
Sadly we aren't allowed to run a still here (if that's what you meant by Applejack?). Hugh grew up in cider country in the South where farmers were.... independent minded... but we aren't allowed
Loving all your videos. I'm making cider tomorrow having borrowed a press from a friend!
Excellent! It's hard work (unless you have a powered scratter) but great fun!
Do let me know how you get on?
Hugh
English Country Life Thanks, I should have added I borrowed a make-shift scratter too. All done - two demijohns of cider and two of apple wine happily doing their thing 😀.
@@timtaylor5973 Excellent, did you enjoy the process? Takes a while doesn't it?
English Country Life Really enjoyed it thanks. Everything is happily bubbling away now.
I was hoping to hear the pop of the cider!
Sorry, trust me, it fizzes 🙂
A couple of years ago i over carbonated my cider, but as i had bottled it in the plastic bottles i was able to loosen the lids every now and then avoiding exploding bottles. PS ask Happy homestead for his Rhubarb beer recipe it is excellent, it is more like a Rhubarb cider.
I will, thank you. I made bullace and liquorice beer once trying to reproduce Badgers "poachers choice". It was hog whimperingly awful.
@@EnglishCountryLife Reminds me of the first time me and my brother made cider, the first bottle was so bad we had to try a second to confirm how bad it was, but by the third bottle it had improved and by the forth it was really nice we cant remember if there was a fifth.
Oh no, the bullace beer eventually was consigned to the septic tank. I think even the faeces digesting bacteria may have spat it out!
Loads of great 'time related' details here ... the steps involved I'm getting the hang of, it's these salient details which bring it all together. Now not concerned that (2 weeks on) my rose petal wine continues to gurgle 15x minute throuh the airlocks after being moved from the big jug to two smaller ones (demijohns on order!). It's been a bit cool until now as well, the big action really didn't happen until I put them in a warm (24deg+) spot. Also appreciate the finings as an option detail. What ABV on the cidre do you generally get (or do you care? lol) ...
Sorry for the slow reply, I missed this question. Our cider generally ends up around 8%...so go careful! 😁
Hi going to start home brewing for the first time and I’m going to follow your excellent cider video. Quick question if I may? Does the dust cap on an s type airlock need to let gas out or can it be fully airtight as well? The type I’ve bought seem to create an airtight seal.
It does need to let air out - is it the red plastic dust cap? If so it's probably okay but if in doubt, remove it 😉
@@EnglishCountryLife thank you very much for the prompt reply 👍🏻
@@cockneyjock1974 We are here to help - shout if you have questions when you get started 😉
Brilliant video, very good idea with the sugar. Would this also work with apple juice ?
Sadly not. It works because there is live yeast in the cider, but all the fruit sugar has fermented out. If there is live yeast in apple juice it will violently ferment causing the bottle to explode. Its best to pasteurise apple juice to prevent this.
Hope this helps
Hugh
Completely new to cider making. May I ask what finings are? Is this the same as yeast nutrient?
Hi! Finings are an additive that helps wine (or beer & cider) clear quickly after fermentation
Thank you. Is this the name I would go by when looking to purchase? I'm in the states, in Pennsylvania. I see yeast nutrient, but I can't find anything by the name finings.
@@Vincarnardine Hi! I've attached a link to a US store that carries them. I don't know the store but it might help?

@@EnglishCountryLife thank you! Have been so very helpful. I appreciate it!
What is (findings) to add
Finings are additives that help clear cider and wine
@@EnglishCountryLife thanks a lot sir. Love from NEPAL🇳🇵
Pasteurization is important for wine and cider or not...
Pasteurization seems dangerous to me
@@mytubeforock In what way?
