Never did this before, but dying to try it out!
Got 1/2 gallon (glass jugs) to start (this has to be a small, wife-friendly venture....), I've got a couple of basic questions....
I'm using local orchard cider (heat treated only).
(Do I need to put a dash of sodium metabisulfate in and let sit first to kill any wild yeast?)
Red Star Montrachet yeast (how much of packet for 1/2 gallon?)
1/2 lb of sugar (is that correct?)
I'm looking for a slightly sweet carbonated (if possible) drink.
If I leave it in a 70-degree room, how long do you figure?
Thanks in advance!
