Hey guys
I went to my local orchard again to pick up four 1 gal bottles of apple cider to make hard cider with. I left it out on my counter to get to room temp and did not get around to cleaning the fermenter for 3 days. So they sat on the counter for 3 days. Well I cleaned out my fermenter today and looked at the four 1 gal bottles and noticed that two of them were bloated and pressurized. No doubt that fermentation had started to take place. My question is can I still use these two bottles that had started fermentation with the wild yeast that was in the bottle with them? The cider from my orchard is only flash pasturized so I guess you gata keep them cold or else this could result.
