    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.

      @@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.

    • @EnglishCountryLife
      @EnglishCountryLife  4 года назад

      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) ...

    • @EnglishCountryLife
      @EnglishCountryLife  4 года назад +1

      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.

    • @EnglishCountryLife
      @EnglishCountryLife  2 года назад +1

      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 😉

    Brilliant video, very good idea with the sugar. Would this also work with apple juice ?

    • @EnglishCountryLife
      @EnglishCountryLife  4 года назад +1

      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

    Completely new to cider making. May I ask what finings are? Is this the same as yeast nutrient?

    • @EnglishCountryLife
      @EnglishCountryLife  9 месяцев назад +1

      Hi! Finings are an additive that helps wine (or beer & cider) clear quickly after fermentation

    • @Vincarnardine
      @Vincarnardine 9 месяцев назад +1

      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.
