#Keevewatch Day 1 since pressing and quite viscous on the surface. It's a struggle to get the Cidery temperature down 0° outside, 7.4°inside.

#Keevewatch day 8. The outside keeve now has a chapeau brun. I'm leaving it for a bit to see changes throughout the day. It's about 5 degrees outside.

#Keevewatch is back!
I'm not sure it's worked. 1.002 on hydrometer, still working a bit. Tastes nice though. I'm bottling in 750ml Champagne bottles and at the worst we'll have a lovely petnat.

Away from #Keevewatch, we're back at the Piece Hall in The Fax slinging our fabulous mulled cider. Tell yourself it's not raining and cone and say "Hi"

#keevewatch The keeve is now fully separated. Can't wait to see what fermentation is like. Going to cool down from tomorrow so slowly slowly.
The drama is over!

#Keevewatch Day 9 Outside keeve is starting to break through so time to decant, me thinks! This is just a 30 litre tank.

#Keevewatch ooooh day 5. 7.1° in the cidery. White bubbles have started to appear on the surface! This could be interesting. Will be back to check this evening. Stay tuned folks, it's riveting!

#Keevewatch Day 3 7.4° slightly more gelatinous, no white frothy bits anymore. Not much happening really.

#Keevewatch Final decanting of keeved juice. So, part 1 seems to have been successful. Part 2 is for fermentation to go slowly and cease at some point. We have 120 litres of now-fermenting juice.
I must admit to being a bit excited.

If you're mourning the fact that #Keevewatch is winding down for winter, there's more excitement coming your way tomorrow! Stay tuned!

#keevewatch Hi all, been a while but thought I'd give it a try, and I've inadvertently managed to nearly drink a whole bottle. It's come out medium dry (1.003fg) with a lovely effervescence. Nice toffee hit with a light acidity. Now time to design some labels!

#Keevewatch about 7 months ago I said I should design some labels. I'm doing it now!

#Keevewatch the outside keeve is now like this. Looks a bit like the inside did two days ago, so the lees could fly today! I'll keep watching and report back.

#KeeveWatch. Day 6 continued. Collected about 80 litres of juice. Still 40 litres in tank but started to go a bit cloudy. Left to see if it'll keeve a little bit more.
