I tried my hand at making some hard cider tonight in a one gallon jug. I used apple juice, 1 lb corn sugar, and various spices and pasteruized it at 180 for about 20 minutes. When I went to put my airlock on, I found out that the bung I had been told to buy at my LHBS was too big. I just put the sanitized cap on loosely to let gas out and put it in my closet. Unfortunately, because of my schedule, I won't be able to make it to the LHBS for quite a few days, maybe a week. How worried should I be about infection?
