I added 5 gallons of Apple juice to a Nottingham yeast cake.
I thought maybe I should use a blowoff tube so a couple hours later I switched from an airlock to a blowoff tube, I saw yeast swirling around already so I know fermentation started....
I checked in on it the next day after work, about 22 hours after adding the apple juice and there was no activity, the juice was quite hazy and there were a few bubble rafts on top but there was a big cake on the bottom, nothing from the blowoff tube in the way of bubbles, and no ring that indicated some sort of krausen buildup.
Could it have fermented out that fast? It was in the ferm chamber at 60 degrees the whole time.

Regardless of where it will truelly finish, a gravity sample will tell you if it fermented, stalled or never really started.

It fermented, now to forget about it for a while right?

Better to give it a little age, but fine and dandy once clear.

I guess I could move it to the basement floor in a corner and start a second batch with my cheap juice. Maybe add in some dme? There is a name for that I'm sure, but no idea what, I'm a cider noob.

And yes .... forget about it for a little while .... just check it often .... don't let the air lock dry up!Never attribute to malice, that which can adequately be explained by stupidity.

The graff I made was similar. Second runnings/partyguile of a Barleywine with 2 g of apple juice on a Nottingham yeast cake. Turned out okay. I back sweetened some with honey, tasted better. It was very dry.

If you want to pasteurize it drop the keg in you boil kettle full of boiling water and cut the flame. Take a temp of the water ten minutes later and if it's 10f or more above a yeast kill step your done. If not repeat with it pre warmed or with the flame on for a little bit, it'll likely work the first try."I don't have TP, but I do have ammo."

Or you could build a continuous flow pasteurizer. Basically a small counter flow chiller with a place for thermometer so you know it's working."I don't have TP, but I do have ammo."

How fast does apple juice take to ferment?
