My own very delicious cider has now become my foremost beverage of choice. I
drink lots of it. But I wish it were organic. Unfortunately I have to buy
my juice from a commercial orchard and, according to numerous nutrition
reports, it probably contains quite high levels of insecticides/pesticides.
I would like to know if anyone can answer the following questions: What
happens to insecticides throughout the juicing/fermentation process as
the apple is transformed into hard cider? Does it stay in solution? Does
it settle in the lees? Some of both? Does fermentation do anything to it,
diminish it's toxic effects, enhance it?
Any help in answering these questions would be greatly appreciated.

I came to a similar conclusion (particularly once the natural yeast
REALLY got going) and, since I wasn't noticing any off odors, I let it
run. It's fermented out pretty dry now and I'll rack it tomorrow. The
taste at my last sampling mid-week was nice so it's definitely not in
the 'fail' column yet. :-) With any luck, we'll keep it out of that
column.
Merci!
