cider

I can report that 2l of cheap apple juice, 2 tablespoons of sugar to feed the yeast, said yeast, and 4 days produce something that tastes vaguely cidery and has a kick like the proverbial mule.

Next I'll try their "fruitier" yeast in search of taste.

And I must see if I can produce ginger beer. Should be possible to get good tasting with a suitable recipe.

Any measurements of alcohol percentage?

The website has a basic graph. According to that it should be in the 4-5% range. Adding the sugar might add a bit more go.

I'm accumulating ginger cordial recipes to make ginger beer from. If I can find a good one that might be the way I head rather than cider.
