So I made a gallon batch of Apple/pear cider. Very simple recipe of just the juices and brown sugar added to bump sg up. Started at 1.070 FG was 1.000, sadly I went looking for my last pack of red star wine yeast to start a peach wine I was making and could only find a pack of 05 ale yeast. Uh oh .... So essentially I have a gallon of surprisingly good tasting bum wine. Now I went ahead and mixed my priming solution which I calculated down from 5 gallons and bottled anyway. Will this still carbonate? And if so how long are we talking till it does . Thanks

I have used the Safale 05 and the Notty. They both produced excellent ciders... although I prefer the Notty and use it religiously.
