Re: My First Cider?

Update:
All cider is sitting at 55F. I pitched WLP300 and WLP775 (along with 1/4 tsp yeast nutrient) each into a 2-gallon batch of cider I had treated 24-hours prior with sodium metabisulfite according to Andrew Lea's instructions.

Today is day 5 and there is still no apparent activity.

Update - yesterday I raised the ferment temp to 60F
Batch 3 - no change
Batch 4 - no change
Batch 5 - now fermenting (this is the 1-gal natural ferment)

Now raising slowly to 65 (bottom of advertised active level for White Labs yeast used in Batches 3 and 4)
