Campden tablets dosage depends on your juice ph, but usually it's 3 tablets per gallon.
How many you need?
I have no idea to be honest! I have just ordered my equipment so it'll be a few days before I get started pressing the apples and such but I can check when I've started!

I've kept a vial of Conan trub.  It's a few weeks old now but can anything be done with?  I'd really like to use it again.

Can you see how much yeast is in the vial? You should be able to make a starter with it anyway.

Gonna advertise here first and first performance goes to NCB. Im looking to swap 1 Corny keg for 5 12x500ml cases + bottles.

Ok, I was going to make cider, but my apples are way too crusty! I have a tub of pectic enzyme and a sachet of cider yeast if anyone wants em? I won't get to use em befor the expiry date!

Then you need the services of "Turbo Cider Man".

Get thee to Lidl or Aldi or Tesco. Purchase as much apple juice as you want to (€1 a litre or less), get a bag of raisins, a few tea bags. When home search for Turbo Cider on this very forum and away you go!
Remember: The Nationals are just round the corner - time to get brewing

I like the way you think Will! Thanks!

hurleyci

Maybe a long shot, does anyone have spare bottles? Or advice on where to go to get em free or which commercial bottles are best to reuse?

Ciderhead

Empty Coke bottles will be fine for Turbo Cider, the stuff is iss and usually drunk within a couple of months so no issues in gas permeation that you need to be worried about.




hurleyci

haha sorry should have said this was unrelated to cider! Meant bottles for beer!
