I made orange and plum cider in jail (called "hooch" there) by using pieces of bread for yeast and Jolly Ranchers for sugar. Believe it or not it worked out pretty damn well reagardless of the semi-accurate ingredients.
Today I decided to make my first cider outside the confines of a jail cell. I'll still be using the ghetto setup, but not quite as bad. I guess I should have done my research before shopping for the ingredients (duh) because after shopping I realized by reading over this forum that most people used brown sugar, but I bought white. Worse yet, I noticed after I bought it that I had thoughtlessly grabbed a bag of convectioner's powdered sugar, which contains cornstarch. Is the cornstarch going to have any negative effects on my brew other than a slightly less desirable taste? Thanks for any advice
