Hello Everyone,
Last weekend I pressed 5 gallons of cider and Monday night I I tossed ~1/4tsp of potassium metabisulphite in it and waited 24 hrs before pitching a packet of Nottingham. I didn't rehydrate the yeast and I forgot to take a hydrometer reading (I am kicking myself for this). The pitching temp should be about room temp. (68-70 degrees F). Since pitching the yeast Tuesday night there has been no airlock activity. Did I do something wrong? What can I do now?
This is my first time working with pressed cider. so any pro tips for future ciders are welcome.
Thanks
