But is 4 tablets a lot? None of my other recipes call for that but they are for other fruits that I usually add extra water and sugar for. This batch is just grapes So do I need more campden when I have more fruit or something? Or should I have ignored the recipe and just done 1 campden per gallon like I usually do.
For grapes, 1 tab per gallon would probably have been enough. Give it a good splash anyway. You need lots of air in there! Too much SO2 and the yeast says 'you must be joking' It can be very slow to get going. D rinks P lanet.

Thread starter superslomo Start date Sep 19, Help Support Homebrew Talk:. Hi All, the season is upon us, and I'm thinking of putting up a batch or two of cider to ferment. Do you all suggest campden tabs, or are they not required? I'd rather not turn to sulfites, and will be using non-raw cider, from a local cider mill. I was planning on pitching the Wyeast Sweet Mead blend, and then putting into bottles to carb, without back-sweetening, just adding some dextrose for fizziness.
Any suggestions, simple tips here? How much do I need to fear the wild yeasts in this case? There might be more. Generally when doing something like this, you'd hit it with I think 1 campden tab per gallon and let it sit about 24 hours at least 12 then pitch your yeast and yeast nutrient.
Gving a bit of a stir to both aerate just a little and drive off CO2. Although milage may very with all that staggered additions. Be sure to add some yeast nutrients as plain juice lacks nitrogen. Do you need to use the sulfites if you are using pasteurized cider? Any recommendations for or against the sweet mead yeast? Figured it would leave behind some extra sugar. Careful with pasteurized cider. It may already contain stuff to prevent ANY fermentation at all.
The blend features some rare old cider apple varieties. You can sign up at the store in September. This is a great way to get started making hard cider. The cider is not treated with anything. You should plan on taking a starting gravity with a hydrometer. Fresh, untreated cider may have wild yeast from the skins. Under a microscope you may see more than one strain. As the cider warms up to room temperature it may start to spontaneosly ferment. There is an element of uncertainty when you do it this way.
As a beer brewer it felt a bit risky, but go for it if you want to try it. One year I waited six days and nothing was happening. That was as long as I felt comfortable waiting so I finally pitched a wine yeast and fermentation was going soon after.
There are lots of different yeasts to pick from at the store. We have wine, cider and mead yeasts that will do a nice job with higher alcohol contents. Champagne yeast is probably the most popular choice. It ferments out very crisp and dry. It is also a good choice is your house is cool, but I would still recommend keeping the fermenter at least 60F during active fermentation. I sell other white wine yeasts, Premier Cuvee, Chablis, or D, if you want crisp and dry, but not as dry as the champagne yeast.
We carry dry yeast and Wyeast liquid yeast. As a beer brewer, I use mostly the Wyeast yeasts so I am comfortable using them in my ciders and wines.
I am particulary happy with the port wine yeast when I make my New England barrel style cider. Please ask us if you have any questions. You will run across recipes that encourage you to add campden tablets, or potassium metabisulphate, to your cider.
If you want to make sure wild yeast is not participating in the fermentation, campden tablets should be added. One tablet per gallon, crushed, goes into your cider. You should then wait hours and then proceed with the rest of the recipe.
Your decision now is whether that is what you want.
