I decided to try my very first cider after only 3 or 4 months. It was surprisingly good. Sweeter than anticipated, perfect fizz. A little yeasty taste, but I'm told further ageing will take care of that. I don't imagine it will clear up any further.5yr ⋅ satan664 ⋅ r/cider

Hello cider people! Last October (11 months ago) i started fermenting a local cider in a primary, but i never switched it to a secondary. It has been sitting in a dark closet the entire time at a temp of 75ish degrees ever since, and theres no vinegary smell. Do i try to bottle this?4yr ⋅ Skintag12 ⋅ r/cider

Slow fermentation? 5 gallons of pasteurized cider without stabilizers and 1 lb. of light brown sugar. It's bubbling pretty good but seems slower than in the past. Also, no foam or film at the top. Should I be worried?5yr ⋅ ProphetOfDoom337 ⋅ r/cider
