Hey guys, I made a rookie mistake doing this the other day. The mix was 2.5 gallons "Country Acres" apple cider (<1% Potassium sorbate). That was the main mistake, but moving on. I also added 3 lbs honey and 1 lb of brown sugar. Probably overkill but maybe I can cold crash and get a sweeter cider? Thats what Im thinking. Anyway, as soon as I poured the cider in the carboy I instantly remember the deal with the potassium sorbate. I pitched the yeast anyway and let it sit for a few hours until I read that you could use a starter and have a chance of saving it. Luckily, I had another packet of yeast and some sorbate free juice. So I made the starter and added it this morning around 430. Got home tonight and its def taking off. Its bubbling about 1 bubble per second. My questions are how long will it take to ferment and how much alcohol could I expect to get from this?
Thanks
Tim
