This was the last picking off the tree out back, a little more than two gallons of juice that did some interesting things in the carboy, to say the least.
Basically just juiced the apples and put it in a glass carboy, as I'd had good luck with wild yeasts from that tree earlier.
Around Day 21, the fermentation took off and things progressed normally from there; I racked into two PET jugs and took samples off at different gravities -- that'll be another thread. Just thought folks might be interested to watch the pre-ferment separation, the rise and fall of the pectin etc.
Day 1
Day 2
Day 3
Day 5
Day 6
Day 7 (notice the monster gas pocket really starting to form)
Day 8
Day 9 (the little flecks were slowly rising and falling)
Day 10
To be continued ....
