 Help brewing scrumpy Hi all, I've just invested in all the equipment I need to start brewing my own cider and have compared a number of recipes, but still have some unanswered questions. I'm a fan of traditional style strong, flat ciders (scrumpy), and whilst I have found many good, simple recipes, none of them tell me what kind of yeast is best to produce this sort of cider or how to ensure that I don't end up with the fizzy stuff. I'm also unsure as to what quantities of yeast and sugar to use to get the desired strength (I'm using a five gallon primary fermenter so probably about 22 litres of apple juice). Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm also quite impatient, if that has any bearing on advice given.      |

| Hi and welcome to the vine Si - I have PMd you a link to help you make a quick cider. The fizzy cider is made by fermenting to dry then priming the storage container with sugar when you bottle. If you prefer your cider flat, then don't sugar it once it has finished fermenting but stabilise it instead. |
