Cider

Hi,

I'm currently trying my first batch of cider. Usually make wine, made beer before and honey wine. I took fresh apples, extracted the juice, let the solid stuff with the juice in the primary fermenter(with yeast of course) and I had, 7 days later, a deposite of an inch in the bottom. No big deals, I switch to secondary, filter it. 24h later, I got another inch of deposit in the secondary fermenter. I guess that removing it after 24h might be too fast. Should I wait a week or two before removing it or the juice will have too much deposite at the bottom so it won't do any deposit anymore ?

thanks Luc

I'm not sure if this was a good idea or not... traditionally, the apples are crushed, and pressed to obtain juice. The solids are then discarded. I would let your cider settle out some more, before racking again.

I have made wine form pure apple juice and from whole apples including the pulp and a little water using one of Berry's recipes. I like what I made with the pulp better. But then that may be just me.
