New to cider making. This is my first batch and it is quite frankly a test because I had a tiny amount of juice left wanted to try one night. Anyway this is 5 days in, is it normal to smell slightly alcohol and really bitter? Also I know it is still fermenting because I release co2 every few hours but should it ferment more (as in bubbles). Just wondering cause this is the first time I've ever fermented anything. I know in future I should use a real airlock but I didn't have any balloons. By the way not brewing area just moved for a picture.

Its going to taste like crappo early on - yeast in suspension is not tasty. May take aging for a month or so - even longer. Some of my best ciders are a year old.
