grendel Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 This afternoon, as I was relaxing I started looking at my cider, it had stopped bubbling a while back, so I siphoned off the liquid (one demijohn still had a lot of frothy pulp floating on top - the other had none. As I siphoned off into jugs, I put the result through coffee filters into a spare demijohn, this takes quite a time to filter through. The second demijohn being clearer 2 jugs had very little sediment, so these have been bottled with some sugar to put a bit of sparkle and fizz into the mix. further bottles were filled with the filtered cider, the rest is either filtering or waiting to be filtered, now to see if the bottles can take the pressure (my ginger beer was known for exploding bottles) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 My ginger beer used to lead to something else exploding, but I won't go into that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I just had a small (very small) glass of some that was left over from bottling up and phew, it certainly has a kick, probably could have done with a little sweetening. but I think drinking one bottle of it will have an effect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Whew, thats nice stuff, I opened one of my bottles this evening, and I have a very nice (strong) lightly sparkling cider, one bottle at a time will be plenty, its only been bottled for 4 weeks, so I will be leaving the rest to mature (I just had to give it a try though) I will certainly be making more next year, maybe a whole tree worth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Well I recovered, up as usual this morning, that cider was lethal stuff, one pint and I couldnt walk straight - so went to bed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I have exactly the same problem with Bombay Sapphire gin. One bottle and it's all I can do to drive the two hour trip to the boat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
