I am 4 days into my first batch of hard cider that I started with my Make your own Hard Cider kit by Craft A Brew.
I have a couple questions and just want to make sure I am doing things right.
Here is my cider after getting it into the jug (carboy?)
The next day I was concerned by what I saw but I believe this is a Krausen and harmless?
Bubbling really picked up yesterday but I've had issues the last few days with stuff creeping up and making the airlock cloudy. I took the airlock off and cleaned it a couple times while trying to keep everything as sanitized as I could while doing so. I think I filled things up too much.
Today it is still bubbling along but there is a milky looking substance near the top. Is this possibly contamination?
Here is the instructions I am following:
Any help or advice is appreciated!
