The Cider kinda got forgotten for a while, checked on it today and it was crystal clear with a nice firm yeast deposit on the bottom of the Demijohn.Bottled it up today into 7 and a half 500ml beer bottles after it sitting in the Demijohn for 16 days.
I'll have to add another 250 ml of apple juice next time so I get the full 8 bottles. Put the 1/2 bottle in the fridge for a sample later this evening.
Each bottle was primed with 1/2 a tsp of castor sugar to give it a bit of sparkle, then labeled and put up in the Cabin Brewery to condition.
Not sure if this works out a cheap Cider or not yet, time to crunch some numbers:
4 x 1ltr Apple Juice = £2.40
1 x Packet of Youngs Cider Yeast = 1.35 (only used half a pack)
So a total of £3.75 plus bottle caps and labels at say £0.05 each = £0.35 makes a grand total of £4.10 so thats humm about £0.60 per pint. Thats pretty close to what you can get Cider for in the Supermarket.
