Yup, primary fermentation is active enough to put out a lot of CO2 and your headspace isn't likely going to cause you any oxidation problems. Not to mention if you're going through 2.5 gallons between the two of you in relatively short amounts of time, you aren't going to get the oxidation...

+1 here. mmm, now I want one.

Seeing as rum is my #2 drink of choice after beer, I'll have to try this. OK, back on topic...

I followed a link another cider brewer posted here in the forums to an article explaining how Potassium Sorbate works. I believe it was titled "Everthing you know about potassium sorbate is wrong", oddly enough. hehe.

I say brew it! See what happens.

My Double Chocolate Stout... Which I might add is the first beer I have kegged in my brewing adventures! So ******* tasty!

1. Lock down a routine for my AG process 2. See how close to 80% efficiency I can get on a regular basis 3. Start harvesting/storing yeast to further reduce batch costs 4. Get my hops to grow this year 5. Finish adjusting my RedLight Irish Ale recipe

Some orchards sell Cherry Apple Cider, might be a good start if you can't find any other recipes.
