I bought a 1 gallon glass unfiltered organic apple juice jar from the store. I also bought 1 packet of wine yeast that I plan on using about 1/3 of. I'll be adding the yeast & slapping an airlock on, but a couple questions first:
Should I boil the apple juice first? Should I add any corn sugar & if so, how much? Should I boil the corn sugar in water & add it like that or just pour it straight in? Fermentation temp? Do I take gravity readings or just let it go? I'm trying to keep it simple, just a fun experiment, but I'd still like to try to make something that tastes good... I brew beer normally, this is my first foray into cider.
