This is the cider I set going on the fermenting stage last night. As you can see, it has made an enthusiastic start. I’d been wondering how I could get a greater volume of liquid in my next batch but I’m now thinking about reducing it instead to give more headroom inside the demijohn.

I’ve cleaned up the outside of the demijohn and replaced the bubbler valve with a fresh one but there is no doubt that cider #1 is underway.
