1 Avoid using pressure-treated lumber where it may come into contact with drinking water or food (such as cutting boards or for use in beehives). 2  Do not use treated wood for animal food storage bins, water trough, and compost bins.  Remember to âmeasure twice and cut onceâ to avoid wasting time and material.
Add 1 to 1.5 crushed Campden tablets per gallon of cider, wait 24 to 36 hours and then add your desired wine yeast. You have killed the wildlife in the natural cider, and then added your own single-strain alcohol-fermenting yeast.
Crush 2 campden tablets and place into a second clean demi-john, transfer the wine into this vessel using a siphon tube, and leave somewhere cool and dark to clear. The wine should be clear and drinkable within 2 days, but avoid transferring to bottle s until the liquid has cleared.
