Hello my friends. Spainfag living in Australia reporting in. I just moved to AU to stay for a couple of years, maybe more. I realized that booze its fucking expensive here, and i wanted to do my own cider. I saw this photo @ /b/ and i want to know if its real or what. Looks pretty easy but sure its not. Can you give me any tips? Thanks :)

i found this picture last month here... have someone tried it? sorry for the english; PS i fucking love cider

That is ridiculously, needlessly complex. I used this recipe and my cider turned out fan. Didn't sanitize shit.

anyone have that info pic on how to make home made alcohol? general info thread if its allowed.

Has anyone done this before? I just finished doing all of this stuff it says to do, and I hope to god that it works.

Also, this shit cost a lot more than it says it does
in the image. It came to a total of $32.00. The
only reason I still went through with it is because
I'm not 21 yet.

If you really want to do something like this, here's how you do it.

Ingredients
5 Gallons of pure, all-natural apple juice (no preservatives) (any style of apple)
Brewer's Yeast of choice (I recommend both englich cider yeast [http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/cider-mead-sake/cider-making/wl-english-cider.html] and Brettanomyces lambicus [http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/wyeast-brettanomyces-lambicus.html]) from northernbrewer.com
5 lbs of brown sugar
5 oz. Honey

Tools
2 Brew buckets
siphon hoses
bleach (for sanitizing)
3 gallon cookpot
Carb-lock
Thermometer
10 2 liter soda bottles

Heat sugar and 2 gallons of juice together until the sugar is completely dissolved. Pour juice and sugared juice into a brewbucket and cool until 75 degrees.

Pitch the Cider yeas and seal the bucket, installing the carb-lock. Store in a cool dry place for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, siphon cider into the second brewbucket, pitch the Bret. Seal, install carb-lock and store in a cool dry place for 2 weeks.

Once fermentation has stopped (i.e. the carb-lock stops bubbling) siphon the cider off into a sterile brewbucket and gently stir in 5 ounces of honey. Once the honey is well blended, siphon the cider into sterile 2 liter bottles and seal storing in a cool dry place for a week or two, then chill and serve.

here you go, first time in diy, glad i could contribute</spoiler>

i personally have done this and it fuckin workslike a treat
my first brew was this.
now im into beer and im still really novice at it but my advice is to clean the contaner really well and keep air and bacteria out of your beer

Only got this one, and well yea...

So basically I just made this.
I made the batch half the size of the on ine the pic. and didn't put the full amount of sugar in it, so the fermentation period is way shorter.
Hopefully I will have some decent tasting apple cider at new years eve. Roughly 10 liters.
Any advice for a first time brewer? :)
I can provide pics if you want it.
