About three days ago i began a fermentation in a clean mason jar with, a cup of sugar, a quart of water, and some cider spices,I dissolved the sugar completely, added spices, i added two packs of some past date bread yeast, then I shook it up and in fifteen minutes i got some pretty decent foam forming in my mason jar. I loosened the lid to let C02 out, and the foam kept up until the next morning. The next morning was moderately cold around 40F and i wanted to see if it was still producing foam or if that was just some floating bubbles on top, so i shook it again, and didn't get any more foam. I added a half spoon of sugar to see if it had exhausted all sugar but, that did not yield any Change in my situation. So yesterday I added a pinch of some fresh rapid rise yeast, which also didn't yield any result, I warmed up the jar with warm water, and it didn't seem to help either. I strained and tasted a sample and it was still really sweet and tasted about as alcoholic as a beer. and it is very cloudy (sorry i don't have a hydrometer) Any ideas as to whats wrong with my brew? or how i can restart my fermentation?? Thanks in advance
