This is my first time trying to brew hard cider and I am starting to get worried. I have had it in the primary fermenter for 4 weeks now and it is STILL bubbling. In fact, it slowed down for a while and is now speeding up again. (I am talking about bubbles in the brew, not the airlock. mistake?)
Here are my ingredients:
1 Gallon HEB Apple Cider (no preservatives)
1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
Nottingham Ale Yeast (this yeast was leftover from my Irish Red Ale. which I made a couple of months ago. mistake?)
There is a layer of bubbles around the top of the brew and little floating clumps of bubbles on the surface.
Am I just being impatient? Should I take a hydrometer sample now or after it stops bubbling and, if now, is it safe to taste it?
Thanks in advance.
