I'm going to a cidery on Saturday to get some fresh cider pressed specifically for making hard cider. Here's the problem, my local homebrew shop is closed for the next few days, can't get cider yeast! I just racked a batch of porter off of White Labs WLP005 British Ale yeast that is sitting in a closet at home.
Should I just culture some of the yeast cake and make a starter with the ale yeast? I was thinking of doing half extract and half cider to get the yeast somewhat used to the cider.
Will this turn out to be a mess?
Help!!
