I made a couple of batches of cider last year ,one batch I bottled after fermentation, the other I left in a demijohn with airlock and stuck it away in the garage over winter, my idea was to see if the taste improved by being left to 'mature'.Today I thought I'd have a look at the cider in the dj.After reaching into my shelving to retrieve the cider I was horrified to see an open demijohn, no sign of the airlock!,I must have knocked the bung out shoving stuff into the shelves at some time.It smelled fine and tasted ok so I bottled it with a teaspoon of sugar per 500ml bottle,only thing is there was a single little fly at the bottom of the dj in the sediment.I've no idea how long the bung has been out, could be weeks , any one had a similar experience, how might this turn out? Carbonated dry cider or vinegar? Cider is about 5.7%abv
