So I went to a farm the other day and pressed a gallon of cider from some apples. I've made beer and mead so I figured I might as well ferment this guy out and see what it's like.
I've read the yeast guide, and since I only have 1 gallon, I'm thinking I won't mind if it's a little stronger and drier so I don't go through it so fast.
My main questions are. How strong would this be if I just used an ale yeast like S-04 or notty without adding any sugars. Or will I need to add sugar and wine yeast?
Also, since this is self-pressed, I assume there are all kinds of bugs in there already. Should I put in a camden tablet for a day before pitching to get rid of that stuff first?
Thanks again for being patient with everyone's "first batch" threads.
