getting started with cider, 1st of 4 short clips. As usual, I don’t have a script and so fumble my words occasionally, don’t worry. there are three stages to making cider (or hard cider as the Americans call the drink you get when all the natural fruit sugar in apple juice turns to alcohol) step 1-crush the apples into a pulp. I use a centrifugal mill to do this. This one cost around £600 from www.vigoltd.com (a useful source of equipment and books). Crushed apple is called pomace stage 2 is to press the juice from the pomace, I use a rack and cloth press, again from Vigo. This is a fairly simple piece of equipment and if you have skills and time but little money you can make one from timber and a car jack and a few other bits, plans can be found on the ukcider Google group archives the third stage is to ferment the juice so that the sugar is turned to alcohol by yeast. Here there is some controversy and plenty of scope for differences of opinion and also for things to go wrong, particularly due to the wrong kind of micro-organism and careless storage. Before starting to make cider I suggest you read a book-the best in my view is Proulx and Nichols (obtainable from Vigo) you can rely on the natural yeast on the apples, but this is risky unless you add sulphite, which kills bad bugs but leaves the yeast. I sulphite minimally to kill spoilage organisms-sulphite kills them but leaves the yeast alone, apparently(half a Campden tablet per gallon) and also use a Champagne yeast …

“I know a place in England where the cider apple grows
The farmer that lives down there has got a big red nose
He’s always drinking cider, as he sits beneath the tree
Come on drink your cider up, it’s the one for you and me
The one for you! “
Um, I’ve got some questions but I’ll wait until I see the whole series! Looks like a nice day there.

If you want to spend a minimum of cash then make sure that bucket is food grade and buy some sterilizing power. Sterilizing everything is more important than any other stage of the process!
…nice vid nice stlye!…ok so i have the nettles from allotment and other stuff seems ok……except all the big buckets and things, as in i dont want to buy a load of stuff for what might be a one off.
mate says he has a large bucket with no lid (proper home brew bucket!)
Could i use this with an improvised lid?
will the yeast i get in a supermarket work or does ti have to be beer yeast to brew??? would apperciate it if you would let me know!
