Forum Support Tommy T. Posted May 5, 2020 Author Forum Support Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) Thanks, JD... Perhaps you might PM me a little about how her shopping experience went at S & R? Lines? Social Distancing? Product availability - especially produce? We will be ordering pizzas from there today using Food Panda... We are suffering pizza cravings now! Even after the quarantine is lifted some day, we intend to stay home for another week after because we are sure there will be a surge in shoppers that has been all pent up during the past going on 2 months... You should see the videos online of the traffic in Davao City yesterday at 9 am!!! And the ECQ is still in force for another 10 days.

I had friends who did something like that in university and it did not turn out so good.... At any rate... I applaud your effort! Could you please share details about how you made this and how it tastes when done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insite Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 Thanks Tommy. Its my first attempt at brewing anything but I have been given the process and recipe by a friend of mine in Davao who does it frequently and who assures me his cider is now sharp and sparkling and better than Strongbow ! It is a two stage process with the first to ferment the alcohol and the second to build up the CO2 - one also has to be careful of the sediment as it may cloud the cider - perhaps that's what happened Jimeve's brew ( then again perhaps not ha ha ) This is the process as given me : Cider and wine same process. Juice must be preservative free - preservatives kill the yeast You can use the original juice container to brew just make an airtrap for the plastic top. 1/2 pkt of yeast and 2 cups of sugar to 4 liters of juice ( can add 3 cups to build alcohol content )...walk away and leave until bubbles stop. Replace cap without airtrap and add 4 teaspoons sugar for second fermentation. Ready in a week but improves with age. I had no airtrap so on this batch I followed this advise : I have subsequently ordered some of these for the next attempt : https://shopee.ph/product/202049546/5528668888 I also used a standard but good quality yeast - I was later advised to try this for a far better taste : https://shopee.ph/product/127817793/2043684062 The second process is along these lines : When bubbles are passing really slowly it's a sign the yeast is getting exhausted you have 2 options . Decant into other bottles (Coke type will do , Grolsch type even better ) without disturbing the sediment. Add teaspoon of sugar per bottle and seal for a week then chill.... Or use original brew jar add 4 teaspoons sugar and seal with closed cap (not airtrap)...should ferment a second time to add gas If your 2nd fermentation is in the original jar be careful pouring it into a glass to avoid sediment rising. Thats the bones of it ...... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put some more in the fridge last night and it's clear Just had a little taste and it's good, don't know the strength as I didn't take a reading. I fermented the juice in the bottles that come with it, just added two cups of sugar, shake till the sugar has dissolved then add the champagne yeast. I left it for 3 weeks then bottled into empty bottles of rum. Can you buy 4 liters of juice? Mine were 1.9 liters of Mott's apple juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insite Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 You can buy 3.8 L of pure apple juice in SR - not sure if they have other juices such as grape but will check next time there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
