oops! greedy little beast..

well...xmas fun dies down and my attention turned away from fixing my bricked phone having hastily uninstalled something I shouldn't have uninstalled..rendering my phone a useless but glorified mp3 player for a day or so....to....oh yeah, the cider in the airing cupboard !

Opened up a PET bottle very very gingerly to see something similar to what I imagine a whale farting in a tea cup would look like...then managed to get a sample to calm down enough to take a reading....1.002..oops...left it too long and all my 'priming' sugar has fermented off, plus some more ! Well...it makes you pucker a little and it's now 8.5% but it'll do..not as sweet as I wanted but it is at least fizzzzzy...so i've killed off both bottles with campden and stuck them outside tonight...

It's a bit yeasty tasting so I'm hoping over the next few days, that'll subside....we'll see on testing day !
