Hey guys, making my first batch of cider.
I used nottingham yeast but for some reason I microwaved some of the apple juice and put the yeast in afterwards to get it started. I didn't think about it at the time, but I may have had the juice too hot and killed the yeast.
Its been about 24 hrs now and zero activity in the primary.
How long should I wait unitil I should be concerned.
Does the nottingham take longer to get going than other yeasts?
And if no activity by x amount of time can I just throw in some lalvin 1118 into the carboy?
Thanks in advance everyone.
