Hi all
Today I thought I would try and make some cider using carton juice from the supermarket. I used the following ingredients.
20litres of juice
1kg sugar
Lager yeast
I disolved the sugar with some of the juice, put it into the fermenter bin then added the rest of the juice. I sprinkled the Lager yeast into the fermenter and left for 15min then mixed it, closed lid and fitted airlock.
It has now been about 4 or 5 hours and I havent had as much as a single bubble.
Should it take this long? if not then what can I do to get things started?
I only ask as I have made a couple wines in the past and can remember fermentation starting almost instantly.
