Cider Progress
Now I have two types of cider. One batch that didn't ferment all that
well and another that is really bubbling. The first batch I should
have made a yeast starter at a temperature of 105F and let it sit for
a few hours. Instead I used a significantly lower temperature and only
let the starter go for one hour. My second 1 gallon batch of apple
cider received the appropriate yeast starting temp/time and is
bubbling away. I also used a different brand of cider this powerful
bubbler is "Tree Top". I'm drinking the first batch now after nearly a
week and it is tasty with very little alcohol. The second batch will
be bottled and shelved until March.
