Last week I started a new batch of Cyder. I figured I'd try the recipe from my 'Wild Wines' book.

-Mixed up the yeast (Red Star Premier Cuvee), 1/4 tsp of DAP, and half cup of orange juice.
-Fell asleep waiting for it to start and pitched it in Sat morning. So it was bubbling for 6 hrs. Quite a nice head of bubbles.
