So I started up making cider the other night:
Started 3/8/2013. Poured Sprout's unfiltered organic apple juice into 2 gallon primary fermenter.
Added 1/3 lb light brown sugar
1/2 tsp energizer
1/2 tsp yeast nutrient
1 crushed Campden tablet
Allowed to sit 24 hours
Added 1 package standard Pasteur champagne yeast 3/9/2013 8:45 pm
OG 1.065
I have not seen much action in the airlock but I put my Faith in it that things were working.....
I have seen no action for 24 hours now so I popped the top today and took a G measurement. .990 I practically have moonshine.... Is this normal?
Am I ready to rack it to the secondary (original glass jug I bought the apple juice in)
I was expecting a couple of weeks of fermentation not 6 days with hardly any action noticed....
