Cider Improved! Fermenter In this post, I will speak of fermentation with yeast-specific (in this case Al Saf US05) and the second fermentation in the bottle.
In the photo, the full fermenter airlock and baking powder.
The simple things that you are
1-put 4 gallons of apple juice in the fermenter
prepare 2-dry yeast: measured with a precise balance, just 4g of yeast from the sachet
after heating 1 / 4 cup of water (slightly warm! should NOT
be hot!), weighed just add yeast (mix well) and let
, about ten minutes to rest.
3-inoculated yeast in fruit juice (caution must be at room temperature!).
4-close the fermenter and fill the first two balls 's airlock with a solution of water and alcohol.
is fine vodka.
5 - wait for about ten days to complete fermentation!
bottled cider in bottles suitable: if you want it smooth going well all the bottles of colored glass (dark brown (preferable) or green), if you want sparkling cider, use of bottles strong.
are good ones to mechanical seal, beer or sparkling wine or champagne for those!
I thoroughly washed my bottles with SodaSolvay, 1 tablespoon per bottle and two glasses of hot water, beating thoroughly and rinse thoroughly with running water.
Solvay Soda to wash and make good use of a bottle just washed.
Needed for bottling: corker, corks and paraffin oil.
Needed for bottling: corker, corks and paraffin oil.
Result of 'bottling, the bottles with the cork has been linked in order to avoid' expulsion of the same due to the fermentation.
Note: prepazione sparkling cider! To prepare
sparkling cider, you need to be a second fermentation in the bottle.
Just when you go to bottle fermented cider, do not fill the bottle until the 'edge, but ended up filling the collar with the new Apple Juice (not fermented).
Then close normally!
Good Cider!
Note on hygiene:
disinfect all items that come in touch with cider using a solution of bleach and water NON profumata (un cucchiaio in 2 litri di acqua) e poi risciacquate tutto con acqua corrente.
