I’ve got a ginger biscuit you could dunk in that.
It most certainly it was not. It was lovely. I’ve not got close to it since.
Urgent question. Can I use bread/baking yeast that I put in my bread in my cider??
Started juicing all the apples today and noticed my packet of super yeast had a Best before date of May 22. Put a teaspoon of yeast in a warm bowl of water with a spoon of sugar and it’s done nowt. I don’t want to out dead yeast in me cider.

You can, it won’t attenuate very well tho. Personally I’d try it not bother using any yeast, there should be plenty from the apples.
Ok I’ll keep the juice in the fridge until I can get some proper yeast.

Let it ferment using the wild yeast...it'll be sharp but it'll work really well I reckon.
How big’s your fridge ??
Wilko sell wine making yeast in a little tub that includes nutrient. Works a treat.
Big enough for a 5litre bucket.
I’ve got some new coming tomorrow so I’ll just wait I think.

Just use the natural yeast man woman man...what's the worst that can happen?

Right, after the new yeast, the cider is going bonkers and has bubbled up into my airlock and is overflowing. What should I do here? There’s five litres of apple juice I spent ages juicing at the weekend, I really don’t want to chuck it out.

Or quickly fashion a blow off tube.
When to Use a Blow-Off Tube
Most of the time, I do just fine with the standard-issue airlocks you find at homebrew stores nationwide. But sometimes, an airlock just doesn’t cut it. And that’s when I bust out the heavy artillery. I’m talking about the blow-off tube.

Do I need to sterilise it?
Should I take some liquid out of the Demi John or just leave it and if it keeps happening just keep washing it?
