The label didn't list any preservatives, but I called the orchard and wouldn't you know they use preservatives! :mad: Anyway, this is going nowhere fast. Teaches me not to buy from this (small local) orchard again!

Yes.

I first pitched nearly 3 weeks ago. I had some pressure but no airlock bubbles (bulging pail cap), pitched again last week on Monday. Still no bubbles.

Could it be ph?

Going to try that - thanks! Last year I did cider with lager yeast so the temp wasn't such a concern. Learning it's not all the same!

6 gal cider, 2 packets of dc47, but I can't get it over 70 degrees to get primary started. I can't heat my house to that temp and afford to keep it ;) Location is NE Wisconsin, it's below freezing till March. That means 65 or so inside my drafty house is as good as it gets. Any suggestions...
