Boy, this is a really interesting topic. Been reading and have a question. Made a batch on 5/1. Starting to clear now and will probably rack to keg here in another month. My question, after I rack off of the yeast cake, can I reuse the cake and just dump in more apple juice and sugar, shake it up, and then let it sit? What I like about this stuff is that you don't have to worry about blowovers and you don't have to keep it totally dark.

Ready to do my second batch this weekend. I just realized my Redstar Montrachet yeast has not been refrigerated for 4 months since I got it when doing my first batch.Do you guys think it's bad and should I get some fresh yeast?

Mine too! I've got some pretty impressive steady fermentation going on right now and I can really smell it when I walk in the house.

Who's afraid of zee-Germans? I tend to let my carbed stuff sit for awhile after pouring, and next batch I'll lower the priming sugar a bit as well. I also just corked my "still" half, CO2 and all, so it's still a bit tingly. (if those ^%&%* corks hold I'm happy)

(batch #2 is looking great, this recipe gives you drinks and a show)

SOLD!!!!!!

Thank you EdWort

Kegged up my first batch.
I think I'll pretty much keep one going year round!

As a side note, the 3qt juice bottles make GREAT storage containers for specialty grains!
Hold 4+ pounds.

It isn't kept refrigerated at my LHBS. I think it'll be OK.

It has been done though I wouldn't try it, 79 cents for a fresh pack vs all that juice, with the potential for autolysis and soapy apfelwein...

Cool. Thanks. I thought I read somewhere around here it needs to be refrigerated.

I plan to make this weekend but I'm going more for a wine not a cider. Can i do the same process as the cider but degas the wine once it has finished fermenting and it has cleared.

i bet you could..but the cake is really stuck to the bottom..not like a beer yeast for sure. you may have to warm up some juice say 1/2 gallon and swish the heck out of it to get it off the bottom. since its been setting up for so long .
