- How much yeast to 1 gallon of organic cider: 1/2 Packet of champagne yeast.
- How long to let it ferment for that beer taste: about 4 days.
- Once it is done fermenting do I need to do anything or just refrigerate it? YES! Remove the hard cider with a pump into another jug leaving the yeast cake at the bottom. Add some honey or brown sugar to back sweeten and cap tight.
- Can I start another jug with the fermented apple juice as a starter? Yes!
- Do I need to add yeast along the way while it ferments: No but there are some yeast feeders you can buy if you want to ferment for higher alcohol levels beyond a few days. Warning, the cider gets drier the longer you ferment.
- Is putting it atop the refrigerator okay or should it be in my pantry? Cool dark place is best but refrigerator top is okay if it is cool.
- Do I need to stir it or do anything else? NO! Just keep the cap ajar or better yet use a cork bubbler that lets gas out and keeps it water tight.
