I pressed 4 gallons of fresh juice, hit it with Camden to kill natural yeast, then pitched proper cider yeast 36 hours later. Did not heat pasteurize the juice.
Holding at 68 degrees f for 10 days. It continues to ferment fine.
been brewing beer for years, but this is my first cider attempt.
Two issues:
-still fully hazy. Nothing dropping out of solution.
-the color of the liquid has gone to a light orange from its original yellowish color. This is my big concern! Standard foam on the surface but no visible blooming/floating objects.
So, naturally I can leave it continue to go as is, but want to see if I should be doing anything or if I have something in-correctable going on.
Love to hear your thoughts!
