Farmhouse cider

[danmerk23]

I fermented 5 gallons of cider 10 days ago and it's done. It's pretty good but was curious if I racked this onto about 1 cup of a lambic cake I have left from a pLambic I made several months ago that I am also racking into a secondary. I'm looking for some farmhouse and bacterial notes from this cider or is this a waste of time?

While I am sure there are people that make "sour" cider, I wouldn't invest 5 gallons of cider on a whim in case you don't like sour cider. Start with a 1 gallon batch, and see how it goes from there. Try adding a 1/4 cup of your sour slurry to a gallon batch just to try.

Good point. I could ferment another gallon fresh using lambic yeast.


I ferment pretty much everything.
