i just got home from work and it's bubbling now with a good 1/2 inch of krausen (is it still called that when we're fermenting apple juice instead of wort?).
I think the last batch got well aerated in my dissolving of the sugar. I had spread it between 4 of the 1 gal bottles and shook the hell out of all of it. I realized later that corn sugar dissolves easier than listerine strips. I shook less this time to avoid all the foam.
Oh well, it's fermenting now and i should be able to have this batch carbonated in bottles by christmas. I'm guessing I'll give most of this one away as small gifts to co-workers and friends.
