My first alcoholic ferment in 1.5 years. When 100% juice is on sale, I get a couple of bottles for a gallon of cider. (yes they're ciders, they're all apple juice based despite the tropical label.)

1 gal juice, half packet of US05, 1tsp nutrient, see ya in 2 weeks.

Sweet, thanks. I'll have to try that next time apple cider is on sale. I want to make an apple brandy, but store cider is like 1/5 the cost of good cider mill cider
