I don't know if apple cider

Hi Everyone,

I am up to my 4th brew (all just straight out of the tin - nothing fancy yet).
I am fearful that my most recent ( Brigalow Apple Cider) is stuffed. It is now 12 days in the fermenter, hydrometer shows about 1.004. The thing is there is no frothy residue or anything. Also i don't think it bubbled at all. Unfortunately i was away for abit and have pretty much neglected it. I added 3 liters of "preservative free" juice to the otherwise standard kit and followed all other instructions exactly.

Should i bottle or am i just wasting my time???

Thanks!!!

 

Basically I am worried because it looks pretty much the same as it did 11 days ago.

all my other brews have had that frothy residue stuck to the side.

then again this is my first cider so i am not sure if they do that.

thanks for the advice,

 

Is same thing of brigalow apple cider happens to you ?

 

zachary,

I had the same thing happend with a Brigalow Apple Cider and it didn’t look like it had fermented at all. No "froth" and it didn’t seem to change at all. I was a bit dubious when I bottled it as I wasn’t sure of the smell and haven’t been brave enough to taste it yet. It doesn’t seem to be carbonating that well in the bottle so I might wait a little longer. (Im using PET bottles and you can squeeze them and feel how "tight" they are to tell about the carbonation). Mind you, the last of the bottles from the fermentor seem to be carbonating better than the first ones. Something to do with a bit more sediment in them maybe?

I will keep you up to date on how it tastes. I might try some this weekend if Im brave enough!

Good Luck!!!
