Hi,
I had a demijohn kicking about the house so decided to try and make some cider in that.
Thouroghly sterlised the bottle first. Then I put
4 litres of 100% apple juice from concentrate,
50g of brewing sugar
1 tsb bread yeast.
I know bread yeast is not the way to go but was just doing an experiment with what i had, if it works out ok i will get proper yeast next time.
SO, I Shook the thing to death then placed an airlock on with a tad of vodka.
I woke up the next day to find the thing bubbling away nicely. I am now on the thrid day and still going so all is good i think.
My question is how long roughly should i be leaving it in the demijohn before drinking it. I was thinking a month would this seem feasible.
