I just put up two 1 gallon batches of hard cider. I used plain apple juice and added some brown sugar to get the OG up, around 1.060.
I went to the local brew shop and got two different types of yeast, Lalvin EC-1118 (5G) and Coopers brewing yeast (7G).
I assumed that these were for full 5 gallon batches so I only added 2G of the EC-1118 to one batch and around 3G of the copper to the other. It has been over 30 hours and I see no activity what so ever. All the while I have a batch of beer heavily fermenting that was brewed an hour after the cider.
Temperature is around 70 - 74.
Should I add the rest of the yeast? Should I just chill out and wait another 24 hours?
This is my first attempt at cider and only me second brew so this is all new to me!
Thanks
