I am brand new to all forms of brewing and started my first two one gallon batches of cider.
Gallon 1: Store bought pasteurized apple juice, 1.6 cups of white sugar, yeast
Gallon 2: Store bought pasteurized apple juice, about 2.5 - 3 cups of local honey, yeast nutrient, yeast
Question - I used Red Star Distiller's yeast not knowing any better. Should I scrap these two and start over? I have since read that distiller's yeast is too strong and fast and will produce a rather alcohol tasting bad final product.
Question - They honey gallon airlock has stopped bubbling after only 3-4 days. Today is day 5. I submerged the glass carboy in a pot of warm water and brought the temp up a touch and it started bubbling within a few minutes but has since stopped again. Ideas on why? Maybe the distiller's yeast?
Best,
Bruno
