hey all,
got 5 gallons of local cider from a farmers market, and the cider was pasteurized. basically just dumped 4.5gallons of it into a 5gal carboy, added two packets of red-star montrachet wine yeast and a tablespoon of yeast nutrient.
i pitched it exactly a month ago, and it's certainly not cleared up at all. i was assuming a month of fermenting would be near enough time to get it cleared up, was i wrong there?
how long do you guys usually let the cider ferment out? more than a month?
my plan is to get this all bottled up and ready for christmas, and to give it out as gifts for my family members.
thanks all
