rleete:
Yeah, it'll be fine the way you did it. It will just take longer to get going.
raynerd:
Well it is going - 1 bubble every 30 seconds or so.

Day 11 and one of the demijohns has stopped bubbling a few days ago, the gravity reading it 1008 and this has stayed the same for 2 days. This one has been slightly warmer than the other so it isn`t surprising that it could have finished fermenting earlier than the other. I thought I would try bottling this, so primed it each 500ml bottle with 1 teaspoon of standard white sugar. I thought I would go all out and purchased some nice swing top bottles.
I tried to get a better picture, I could get a better "pose" but none of them really show the colour. Remember this is a graff so it has some malt extract and crystal malt added which makes it a lovely golden colour. Could do with a little more clarity so with the other batch, I`m going to try and add a little gelatin. I`m also thinking of some other options to use with the other batch.
It tastes great even flat and warm!! Really looking forward to trying this when it has conditioned!!!! :headbang:
OG - 1.060 FG - 1.008 ABV= 1.055-1.008 = 0.047 * 131 = 6.2
I`ll let you know the important part in 3 weeks.

Is the slotted spoon in your pic for sieving the bigger bits out as you fill your glass? :beer:
Seriously, though, I must try this next year - there's only a couple of pounds of apples left on my tree, now. I don't know what variety they are, but they are more of a cooker than an eater - bit sour, even late in the season. Do you reckon there'd be enough sugar in them for cider?
