Acting on impulse!

so its been a short while since ive been learning about, and experimenting with ciders and apfelwein, but i cant help myself, any time i am at the grocery store and i see a jug of juice, i check for preserves and think to myself 'i bet that would be awesome to ferment out'.

well one day i was out with SWMBO and she thought the following sounded awesome so we did it, and it has been fermenting away for the past 10 days or so:

Size: 5 Gal

(60%) 100% Apple Juice no preserve
(25%) 100% Cranberry-Apple Juice no preserve
(15%) 100% Apple-Pomegranate no preserve
2lbs dextrose
1 packet Montrachet

(ive been a bum lately and havent replaced my cracked hydrometer so when i did this i wasnt able to get a reading, ill have to pick a new one up ASAP)

anyone else attempted using other fruit juices like this?

thought about it. never followed through. let us know how it turns out.

Ha! I've got the same problem right now. I snapped the top off my hydrometer a few weekends back and I haven't gotten around to replacing it.

nice thing about it is if it doesnt turn out, it was $14 dollars and a lesson learned
