Hi all,
I've just invested in all the equipment I need to start brewing my own cider and have compared a number of recipes, but still have some unanswered questions.
I'm a fan of traditional style strong, flat ciders (scrumpy), and whilst I have found many good, simple recipes, none of them tell me what kind of yeast is best to produce this sort of cider or how to ensure that I don't end up with the fizzy stuff. I'm also unsure as to what quantities of yeast and sugar to use to get the desired strength (I'm using a five gallon primary fermenter so probably about 22 litres of apple juice).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm also quite impatient, if that has any bearing on advice given.
