I'm making EdWort's apfelwein, and despite the concoction having been set up five weeks ago, there are still a few bubbles coming out of the ex-juice. I'd say the airlock lets off a very slight gurgle every minute or ninety second, not even enough pressure to push all the vodka from the tube.
I know it's nowhere near ready to drink, but patience and self control has never been a strong suit of mine.
I'm really itching to just siphon out a teacup's worth and taste it.
Assuming I sanitize the siphon and stuff, is getting a bit of marginally living yeast a problem? I worked at a healthfood store many years ago, and one of the "cure of the month" movements was actively worried about people consuming yeast, and live yeast would have sent them into paroxysms of fear. On that front, I can sort of see their point.
Would having a small cup that might contain some living, but doubtlessly very ill yeast be a problem?
Also, when the heck is it all going die?
