Post by silkyuk9 » Thu May 22, 2008 1:59 pm

ok my first time making cidar.

ive put the apple kit into my barrel with 40 pints of water, ive added the nutient and the yeast. so off it goes.

question 1. how long is the fermentation process, is it like beer and lager?

2. after the fermentation period, do i add any finings as i do in beer and lager.

thanks.

1: 7-10 days, like beer/lager.

2: No finings need to be added if you leave it for 3-4 weeks after secondary.
