45 odd litres of 'Triumph of the Revolution" cider busily bubbling away in
my laundry. Its turned a deep honey colour.

All you can do, George, is to model behavior (conspicuously drink in
front of them), and point-out that at least you KNOW what's in, what
you're drinking. I suppose they only eat fruit that comes in little
Styrofoam boats, wrapped in plastic.
Moreover, yeast suck up toxins, and heavy metals (cleans the cider if
they are present). Additionally, no microbes harmful to humans can grow
at a typical cider pH of 3.5 - 4.0.
Maybe you could make friends and family feel better, if you wrapped your
cider in plastic or cellophane to make it look store bought.
Live and be healthy is the best revenge on their doubts.

Default Cider update - help

Disaster. My cider fermentation has slowed down dramatically. Rather than
the airlock plopping away busily, it is slowed down now to an occasional
plop.

You will all tell me this is simply because the cider is at an advanced way
through its fermentation and ask how is this a disaster?

Well, the plopping kept my wife awake for a week or more and gave her
something to complain about.

With the fermentation almost through, what will my wife complain about now?

Start list he

expensive phone calls
the state of the hedge

Why would you want someone else to drink your cider?

I think it's reverse psychology. If you didn't offer some to anybody,
they would get curious and want to try it, but if you keep pushing it at
them, they'll just figure that it's no good, and you're trying to get
rid of it. Just don't push too hard. ;O)
