cider

[zebee]

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.

Re: fermentation

Yeah, the recipes given by other users talk about cooler fermentation.

Once I let it get an entire day old, the taste got better, it's not all that bad really considering it was cheap apple juice. I won't get much chance to try cool fermenting for a while.... be lucky to get the place under 25deg for the next 3-4 months but maybe in the winter.
