cider question

[Alison]

hi all, thanks for the comments ,make my 1st trugs worth of apples into cider and got about 3 liters worth of juice out of them which was abit less than i hoped for but it tastes nice and looks good , ihave it in an fv and havent added anything too it ,i was thinking of adding some yeast but i wasnt going to put any sugar in (i`ll get a sg reading tomorrow ),any thought on wether i should add anything ?

We never do, he natural yeasts gave always got going for us very happily within a few days. Some people don't like this approach and say it's not 100% but I don't think anything in life is certain and although I'm probably tempting fate it has always been fine and is incredibly easy.

I think I said somewhere it's down to what you want, I want flavour and a smug smile, not a high alcohol content. If you want rocket fuel then you may need sugar and yeast, little point putting in either without the other.
