Pitched wrong yeast..

So I made a gallon batch of Apple/pear cider. Very simple recipe of just the juices and brown sugar added to bump sg up. Started at 1.070 FG was 1.000, sadly I went looking for my last pack of red star wine yeast to start a peach wine I was making and could only find a pack of 05 ale yeast. Uh oh .... So essentially I have a gallon of surprisingly good tasting bum wine. Now I went ahead and mixed my priming solution which I calculated down from 5 gallons and bottled anyway. Will this still carbonate? And if so how long are we talking till it does . Thanks

Yeah it should. Prolly will take a week but you won't know unless you open one

 

It'll be fine. I've used S05 ale yeast in graff on purpose; it turned out great!
Regards, GF.

 

I've used 05 on a couple ciders and a graff - I agree with GF 100%. It's much better than bum wine.

 

Thank you guys for the positive info!

I have used the Safale 05 and the Notty. They both produced excellent ciders... although I prefer the Notty and use it religiously.
