I have jusrt started brewing - and have sucessfully done 2 brews. ! was a Coopers where I followed the instructions. I then tried a recipe from the internet - OK result. Now I have brought a Cider concentrate (thought I'd make some for my wife) I followed the instructions which were in short -
1. Mix the Concentrat with hot water in the fermenter.
2. Add a sachet of sweetner (came under the lid.)
3. Add cool water to 15 ltrs.
4. Add yeat nutrient and yeast and mix.
5. seal up as per normal brewing.
So it then goes on to say the brewing temp for cider is lower and take longer etc...
I don't seem to have and much activity in the airlock. I cannot find anything in the instructions relating to adding sugars / dextrose and thought this odd at the time but I chose to follw the steps on the can.
Have I just wasted a good brew? If I do need to add sugar can I just mix it up as a syrup and add now. If so should I re pitch some yeast?
