Hey guys,
I'm kind of new to brewing, and I purchased 2 gallon jugs of apple juice, to hopefully make some good cider with. I mostly bought them for the gallon jugs to brew beer in later (lol), but at the same time I didn't want to pay for an empty gallon jug. My girlfriend loves cider, so I figured it wouldn't be bad to share a couple gallons with her.
Anyway I figured since the juice is already pasteurized, it's as simple as remove some juice to make some headroom, pitch yeast, and throw it in the fermentation chamber. Has anyone tried this and ended up with good cider? It sounded easier than crushing a bunch of apples myself, and well, I get a gallon jug I can use later as well
