So exactly 7 days ago I picked up some carboys from an orchard and had a go at making some GRAFF. So I did about 10 gallons of that successfully, and it's fermenting away nicely.
Here's the thing - I only needed 4 gals of cider per batch and they filled a 6 gal and a 5 gal up completely, so I had an extra 3 gallons to play with. Well the weekend got away from me and so did most of this week. I've had the 3 gallons in a 3g carboy on my porch (Michigan, ~50 degrees or so). In the last few days it has started to visibly ferment, foamy bubbles on the top and all.
MY QUESTION IS: What should I do now? Do I let it go? Do I throw some campden in and pitch some new yeast this weekend? Just need some help, any advice is greatly appreciated.
Anybody?
