I've realise my mistake - I've been using the spigot for taking gravity readings - which lets liquid in, and air in - so it can go manky. I've been doing this with that particular FV since day one. I bet that's why my first few goes were shite.I'd chuck it personally but I don't like cider! Give it a taste, if it seems fine you'll probably be alright.
It smells a bit crap, but all of my ciders have done - they take months to clean up. I guess I can bottle it and just leave it be. Might work out ok.
The whole garage is covered in mould now - a very thin layer. Its time to do a deep clean and shut down for winter I think.
Oh, my super Punk IPA - Tried it last night, its pretty damn good. Its got that very strong taste you get with belgian beers which you excuse because its belgian. I'm chuffed about that.
I think my 2 x standard strength Punk IPAs will be poor - the temps dropped way under the threshold before I think they finished. I've just left them for now hoping they'll finish off somehow. Might buy a pressure barrel for one batch and bottle the other.
