So I have been brewing beer and my lady got her interest peaked, but doesn't like beer as much as me so I suggested cider as she sometimes drinks Woodchucks and such. When she picked up the ingredients she supposedly couldn't find organic or fresh cider and bought the regular store Apple Juice in a jug. She did follow my instructions to ensure it had no additives except for asorbic acid. I figured worst case we're out a packet of yeast and some brown sugar so I went ahead and setup the primary and used a Redstar Pasteur Champagne yeast starter. It's been about 30 hours and there doesn't seem to be any pressure showing in the airlock. Does this sound normal? Is the juice going to work?
Recipe:
3 gallons apple juice + asorbic acid (probably pastuerized)
1 lb brown sugar
1/2 lb honey
1/4 tsp nutrient
1 pack pasteur Champagne yeast (hydrated and started)
1/2 tsp Irish Moss
Thx
