Hi, I started my first TC the other day. I'm using 4.5l of tesco value apple juice 250g of sugar (for a strong brew!) And muntons brewing yeast.
The night I added the yeast after about 5 hours or so fermentation started and had the usual large froth on top and by the morning that had died down, its still bubbling/fizzing 5 days later but every video I have seen online of TC there's seems to have loads of rising bubbles, mine has a constant fizz and has been going constantly for 5 days but its no where near as active as there's.
Could this be the yeast I'm using and will this affect the cider in any way? Shall I wait until the bubbles stop and then rack off?
Also If any one could give me a rough percentage of alcohol content I should expect in my TC that would be helpful. I understand it depends on the aj but a estimate would be appreciated.
Thanks
