    A good few years ago I made some cider from cartons of apple juice. However,  I cannot remember the process and do’s/ dont’s.

    I remember boiling the juice, demijohn’s and using champagne yeast but that’s it.

    Any tips please?

    Its an expensive way of drinking rough cider ..

    I think it will require around 1-2lb sugar per gallon of juice .. a hydrometer to tell you when its fermented sufficiently to bottle without risk of exploding bottles; and the obligatory strong stomach to drink it.

    Four parts apple juice, one part vodka, ready to drink in seconds. (-:

    Hmm, maybe youth clouded my vision of what I was drinking and made it seem better than it was.

    Think I’ll pass then and do a spray malt beer brew instead.

    Just put the juice in a clean fermentation vessel and add a bit of yeast and leave it until you get no more bubbles, no need to boil the juice unless you want it to taste even nastier than it’s going to anyway

    I can see some attraction in pressing your own apples and trying to make cider but from cartons of apple juice? Just going by Tesco prices their shit apple juice is 80p a litre and their shit cider is £1 a litre so I don’t know why you’d bother.

    If you just lick the mould off mouldy citrus fruit, it will get you off your face. Much easier than trying to brew alcohol.

    Just buy a zeppelin of Frosty Jacks. Job done.
