Has anybody else dealt with fruit/vinegar flies? My fermentation room
is in my barn and is now teeming with numerous fruit/vinegar flies.
What is the best way to get rid of them without putting the cider at
risk? Are vinegar traps outside of the fermentation room but in the
barn too risky? Thanks.

Do folks have any experience bottling still cider into 1-gallon glass jugs
with metal screw on caps?
Again, these will be still ciders.
Curious as to whether they seal well enough for at least a year of storage
and if I should be aware of any other issues with using them.
Seems like a pretty economical way to store large amounts of cider with
less bottling work (local glass distributor sells em for $3 a piece).
Thanks!
