Cider Digest #0500
Subject: Yeast Bite?

I started a cider about a month ago. I racked it once, but had to leave
town for sometime and was unable to rack again. It was still active, but
I did not worry about it because I was sure it got infected. My last two
batches of beer made in the same manner and with the same equipment have
been infected and I assumed the cider would be too. :( But thankfully it
is not. :) But it has been sitting on dead yeast cells for a while and
has that bitterness from the yeast. My question is: Will this go away or
mellow out if I age it for a long time? Or is it doomed to be a vile
bitter cider no matter when I drink it? Should I bother to bottle or
just dump it because it is unenjoyable now?
