So I bought a gallon of cider from a farmers stand close to my home, the cider label said it was Flash Pasteurized.
Sat it on the table and kinda forgot about it for a few days.....I noticed over the weekend that the gallon jug was bloated and about to burst.
My first thoughts were that it was starting to ferment, I carefully opened the jug and poured it into a sanitized 1 gallon carboy, put an airlock on and waited to see what happened.
It took a day or so but the airlock is blurping away....
Question is.....is it fermenting...... and what are my chances of ending up with a drinkable cider?
I thought Pasteurization killed most all the bugs good and bad......
