Subject: Bubbling away. . .
That batch of cider I started up a few weeks ago is still going. Essentially,
I put 4 gallons of cider in a carboy with one cup of cane sugar and a pack
of Red Star champagne yeast.
It's got a good color and after three weeks, it is putting out a bubble every
minute and a half (or so).
I was thinking of throwing in another cup (or more) of cane sugar and some
yeast nutrient - any ideas on that are welcome.
Also, I was going to put the cider in a secondary when it stopped, but this
secondary has, as I recently discovered, a rust spot on the bottom. It's a
sixty-year old glass carboy my grandfather gave me and after soaking the
inside for a few days in bleach, the rust spot became visible where there once
was dirt.
I've since decided not to rack to a secondary (I don't have anything else
except a priming bucket) unless anyone feels this rust spot won't make a
bit of difference.
