oh well, I stirred it..

Having not referred to the site beforehand, and having spoken to the moman at the brew shop when I was picking more kit up earlier, I gave it a stir. Adjusted the pH to 3.2 from 2.8, chucked in the yeast and away we go.

So, I have 2 demijohns of natural fermentation and 3 with cider yeast in. I fear there is going to much frothing in the coming days, but I have a pint of juice left over in the fridge that I can top up with if necessary.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think I may have heard my first "bloop" from the "naturals" earlier. Maybe a bit early after 24 hours but you never know - it's quite warm in the kitchen.

I have the potential for at least another 30 litres of juice sitting in the garage waiting for me. I'm going to leave it a week and then juice it and then ferment it in the bucket....

Such excitement...
