Have I made a huge mistake??

[xenamorphin]

So I set a very small half gallon demijohn away consisting of:

90g sugar
1/2tsp champagne yeast
1 litre 100% apple juice (no preservatives
And the big boo boo- 1 litre juice drink which contains only 14% fruit juice didn't realise til two hours later that it was a juice drink argh! Is it salvageable or shall I scrap it?? (The juice drink is by the cracker drinks company and is the apple strawberry and cranberry flavour) it doesn't contain preservatives.

Could kick myself

I know. Newbie mistake. I spent so long reading labels so really can't believe I've done this

The juice content isn't an issue if there are no preservatives. Potassium sorbate will stop fermentation pretty much dead, but flavored sugar water will ferment just as well as juice (just won't taste amazing).

Yeay! Well may as well see it though now as if anything will make a decent base for a punch!!

You should get some Kool-Aid and make Boone's Farm.

It's bubbling away lovely now and has a nice head developing

This is the head, should I mix it in or leave it alone? Just I don't see any bits floating around the rest of the demijohn??
