Hello all,
I am kind of new beer brewer with a few batches under my belt and a couple kit cider batches complete as well.
I have read online about people doing cider out of store brand apple juice and wanted to try it.
I bought apple juice that said from concentrate and there are no preservatives listed. it says 100% apple juice in the ingredients list (besides saying reconstituted with filtered water). I also threw a can of 100% frozen apple juice. Once again it says it contains only apple juice and no preservatives.
I bought Nottingham yeast and put it all in the fermenter yesterday.
Normally my beer is showing fermentation starting by now but the cider is not doing anything. I am concerned that something is wrong. Granted I am only out about $8 for a 2 and 1/2 gallon batch so it is no big deal.
So any ideas or anyone have experience like this?
Thanks,
WR
