What are the pros and cons of using pectic enzyme in cider and at what
point should it be added?
I have always added enzyme as early as possible when I got my apple
juice usually at the same time as the Campden tablets. In reading Jo
Deal's "Making Cider" calls for 1 t/gal of Pectolase at pitching of
yeast. Is that the same as pectic enzyme? Should pectic enzyme be
added at pitching?

P.S. I just started 16 g of my 1998 cider.

Terence Bradshaw was asking about fermentation vessels:
I use a 25 litre plastic bin, with a tap and a grommet in the lid for a
bubbler.
It works like a charm.
I have been concerned about using clear glass demi-john's, is the clear
glass an issue?? I recently managed to pick up a brown glass demi-john,
would this be better to use?

Note that all of the English ciders included here mass produced rubbish
produced from apple concentrate and sugar
and do not reflect the quality of good traditional cider (personally I include
Westons in that but I hope no one from Westons is reading this._
