i see lots of first timers on this forum, me too. I’ve made lots of cider, all from pasteurized store bought juice. This is my first attempt from apple. I crushed and pressed 300 lbs yielding about 55 litres of juice at 1.050 gravity. This went well. Pitched with Red Star champagne yeast. Ferment was a slow start so I put in some yeast nutrient on the third day and it seemed to take off. Just racked from primary this AM and found several yellow jackets on the bottom of the primary. They were swarming during the crush and press. Juice tastes ok, still sweet at 1.035 sg. Will this be a problem?
