Yeah, the sulpher smell goes away in a couple of days, but if you have patience, this stuff rocks. |

ok, I'm getting my ingredients together. Just boiling a little water to rehydrate the yeast.
EDIT: Can i throw in some apple juice with the rehydrating yeast to add some sugar so it starts faster?

Congrats! Now all you need is 4 weeks of patience. 
Keep an eye on the airlock. I put vodka in mine and they need to be watched in the first couple of weeks as they get loads of action then. |

Would a food-grade bucket be able to keep enough oxygen out for four weeks?
