Hey guys, quick question, Should I expect a lot of krausen using fresh pressed apple cider and Red Star Pasteur Champagne Wine Yeast? I'm not going to be around a lot the next couple weeks and don't want to come home to a mess.

I want to put near 5 gallons in a 5 gallon better bottle with 2lbs of dextrose corn sugar and champagne yeast. I'd prefer my 3 piece airlock but suppose i can put together a blow off if suggested.

Thanks
 
apple cider and wine yeast create really no krausen at all. i'd be alarmed if i saw krausen in my cider, as i use wine yeast too
 
I've got foam half way up the neck of my better bottle arggg! :eek: And only 3 hours after pitching the yeast at 70 degree.
