9 days ago I started a 1-gallon batch using pasteurized store juice and Safale S-04 with some fresh grated ginger and raisins. I was wondering why it was still bubbling so I took an SG reading: 1.022 (OG 1.050).
Based on that I'm guessing I should expect another 7-9 days of fermentation. I know I just need to be patient and wait, which is exactly what I'm doing, but I'm just curious if this is normal. I've read that it only takes a few days to ferment when making beer, but didn't track down anyone talking about fermentation time with cider. What have other peoples' experiences been?
