I recently decided to do a cider with windsor yeast. I did 3 gallons of apple juice, roughly a pound of turbinado sugar, and a pack of windsor. my OG was 1.061, is there a rough estimate to what my F.G. should be with this yeast?
also, I did a small starter with this yeast simpy because it was old and wanted to see if it was still viable, anyways I know danstar says not to because they do some special thing to the yeast or whatever, anyways I mixed it with about 16 ounces of apple juice and some sugar and it got a large krausen on it almost immediately. I used this in my cider the next day and its not really krausening (?) but is getting little bubbles in it instead. did I damage the yeast by doing a starter with it? Thanks.
