New TC maker
Hi all,
Decided to join the forum after having a look at the posts on TC and thought I must have a go !
I went out yesterday and came back with 2 demijohns, airlocks,bungs,cider yeast and apple juice from concentrate.
My main question is, when I put the airlock in the bung then fit onto the demijohn do I have to fill airlock with water, if so how much ?
The packet of yeast is 5g and the demijohn is 5 ltrs do I use the whole packet ?

Yeah parva is right,
dont get concerned with temperature (tho dont stick it outside or anything mad like that), blend you bramleys, stick them in with the honey and tea, give it a week or so( till bubbling stops) rack, top up with apple juice, give another few days then prime and bottle.
then get the lads round, stick on the punk rock and go mental!
OI!OI!

So your fermenting for an inital week with bare minimum ingredients, then adding bramley apples, honey and tea, leave it another week.
Then rack it with apple juice for a few days.
And then prime it again?! With somthing else?
My head has been officially rattled.
Sorry mate,
got excited...
i put the juice, blended (pealed) apples and honey+ tea in at start, use youngs cider yeast. i leave a good spce at the top to foam and go mental... when its calmed down i rack of the bramley pulp that has settle out to the bottom. you can also seive the bramley pulp to get as much juice outta it too. then i top up the vessel (i use a 'liberated' 20ltr mineral water bottle i got fom the water delvery guy at work) with apple juice. leave it for another week till it calms down again. rack again. prime and bottle.
THEN i get the ladz round, put the punk on and go mental... LOL
