I am making my first batch of cider. I used "natural" apple juice and Lalvin EC-1118, and added a bit of yeast nutrient. I can tell it is fermenting, but it is not fermenting very vigorously. On day 2, it was bubbling about once every 15 seconds, and now on day 4 it is bubbling about once every 6 seconds. Did I do something wrong? Not enough oxygen? Is there anything about slow fermentation that will make the cider go bad?
