Finally threw out the cider I made from a Brigelow kit + apples + lactose + brewing sugar. As posted earlier it looked and smelled good but had a strong after-taste not unlike some cough syrups, but reminded me more of burnt urine.
I noticed on another thread that Dogger Dan (I think) talked about the need to avoid oxidising the wort in hot weather. Can anyone tell me how this would affect the brew? Could this have been the problem as we did have some hot days and I also moved the fermenter around a bit during that time.
Ta for any help
