yesterday at noon I started my first attempt at cider.
it is also my first attempt at fermenting anything.
I'm making it in a 1 gal bottle with an air lock.
yesterday it looked like it was churning and the airlock was bubbling good.
today there is no churning it's bubbling very little and there is a brown foam on the top.
I was going to shake it around but I thought I would check with people in the know before I do anything.
I just used apple concentrate and yeast.
the hydro. read 1.04 and said there was a potential for 5% alc.
my question on this is if I try for 4% would that leave a sweet cider
how long before I should take my next hydro reading.
thanks
