Thanks for the quick response ya'll!

Hello, I started this one gallon batch two weekends ago and it had a very vicious active fermentation (my first time using LalBrew New England Dry Yeast). All visual activity stopped a week after yeast pitching with some yeast making up the airlock (this was my first time seeing that happen)...

First cider 25 hours in Just some TreeTop Juice with Mangrove Jack M02

Thanks!

@WBB definitely will be bottling it somewhere different next time!

Hey all. I finally got to the stage of bottling my first beer this past Saturday. It was a total PITA. My bottle tip filler kept getting clogged and building up pressure and disconnecting from the tubing. I realize this is my fault from having so much junk at the bottom of my fermenter...

I will look into it for the next brew! I will look to remove the tools and potentially find a cooler location for it once I’m home from work!

Alright, here is a 10 hour after re-pitch update. Thanks for the help everyone!

Rehydrated US-05 (first time rehydrating) and then added it in to my glass jug!

Perfect, stopped by today. Going to sterilize it shortly! I picked up US-05 at @WBB's recommendation.

I did an ice bath for the wort in a cooler for 20 minutes, but I didn’t think to check the temperature (next time I will). As for the type of yeast I cannot speak to that as it came in the kit with some rebranding.

Howdy, I attempted my first time brewing from a Northern Brewer gallon kit, which I feel like the wort stages went well. I am worried about yeast that I pitched. It has been 38 hours now and there is no visual activity. I have it fermenting in a bathroom which is out of direct sunlight...
