I am afraid Mercury Draught is the best Cider i can buy without busting the budget. Special occasions call for Magners.

Strongbow tastes like sugar and piss.


Is there a yeast to recommend other than wine? As i say, i like the draught of merc.

And is yeast nutrient a necessity?

Thanks

I have the apples

Ok, this weekend i plan to buy some apples up Hahndorf way and turn them into cider.
I have a fruit processor and some sodium met laying around.

Could anyone help me with a recipe? How much sugar needs to be added, as i assume there is quiet a bit in the apples already.

I want to make about 25L ...
