I just put down my firstr cider on sunday, a BR cider kit with 7l of apple juice and 1l pear juice. with 250g lactose.
After reading your posts am I of the understanding that I can do away with the kit and use only fruit juice and addand nothing else. This will taste OK. Also if I add fresh fruit to it do I have to kill wild yeast in all types of fruit or just apples.some Wyeast 4766 (cider yeast).
