Got 5 gal of fresh local cider (pasturized no additive) 1 cup dark sugar, three cups white sugar, Lalvin ec1118. Rum in airlock
It is fermenting around 69 deg. Week one, day 1. Bubbles every 5 sec in airlock. Came back from a trip and foam had apparently reached wayy up the neck. Smell from the airlock will singe your nosehairs. Not rhino farts, but hard to explain. Acidy, appley... almost h2s. I thought ec1118 is a low foam low h2s yeast? It gets worse than this? 10 min later and my nose is still raw... lol. It isnt stinkin the basement but it is not fun to draw in your nose too many times in a row.
