I'd secure that balloon a little better honestly, maybe with a rubber band or something

[@uwu1832]

@@gcc2313 if it comes off that means its already making gasses tho? Lol like what

airlock for the win

[@gnomewarlord8962]

it has a hole in it not the balloon but the lid has a small hole in it

[@2.06am]

If you boil the apples with one orange and a few cloves of cardamom with cinnamon it makes a beautiful flavor/aroma

[@ashharijaywardena]

Ooo I can just imagine that flavour. Tantalising. Fantastic idea! 😍👌

[@2.06am]

@@ashharijaywardena Its sooooo good. 10/10 would recommend.

[@bodyofhope]

Mmmm, I do this every fall with apple juice or fresh cider to make a hot mulled cider. The whole house smells divine! Apple juice/cider, cloves, a cinnamon stick, and nutmeg. I'll have to try adding cardamom this year

[@2.06am]

@@bodyofhope oh man I totally forgot about nutmeg. I’ll make sure to put a dash of it in my hot apple cider! Also, I like substituting brown sugar with honey taste better to me

[@douglaszaidi]

@@ashharijaywardena you

[@ninetyone9191]

Depending on the yeast you used, a lot of the malic acid may be digested and it won't very much like apples in the end. I would recommend getting some malic acid, apple juice concentrate, or more apples to add in slices to the cider after it's finished primary

[@happuhelon]

I mean generally acv doesn’t really taste much like apples imo

[@happuhelon]

Wait i mean apple cider not acv my bad

[@ninetyone9191]

@@happuhelon Flavors of real things like fruit are are a complicated mess, and fermentation fundamentally changes a lot of those things. Brewers typically define fruit flavors by proportions of tartaric, citric, and malic acids.

[@happuhelon]

@@ninetyone9191 oh yeah definitely, and in this case using L-malic which are typically derived from green apple will probably be a game changer. But to be honest I don’t know enough about ciders to say if they’re usually enhanced with additional ingredients

[@KyrieFortune]

​​@@jamesharris5156 600lb of seeds... or a small handful of BLENDED seeds. But this diluted in the solution they do nothing, not even give an almond aftertaste

[@herbals9489]

You gotta mix it 2-3 times a day for a week and use a towel as a lid with a rubber band and you don’t need yeast, after a week you put it in beer bottles in the refrigerator until you want to drink it and you gotta burp it everyday to not explode

[@justktea4029]

From My experience with a rubber balloon needs to be washed very thoroughly before you use it. otherwise it will make your cider taste very funky because they have a powder inside the balloon to keep it from sticking together when not in use.

[@Freakmaster480]

Generally, for apple cider, I just let the yeast that hitched a ride on the apple skin do the fermenting. Not the most reliable but sees to work out well enough.

[@JustinMumma]

I think that’s how sourdough and kimchi are made as well, at least that’s how we did it in my microbiology class

[@popcornparker5390]

Thanks for the helpful pointers!

[@Griefer_Jesus]

you should use a needle to poke holes in the balloon so air can escape, I haven't had any problems with anything getting in because of it

[@sammathis]

Dude that balloon trick is genius

[@Tullminator]

My favorite kind of cider is Dicken cider. Nice and refreshing and a great stress releiver.

[@vvvvv432]

the balloon trick is awesome!

[@lloydtripp3793]

I highly recommend getting an airlock before that bad boy gets too bubbly! You’ll be degassing that ballooning every hour or it’ll keep popping off.

[@ElBigM_]

Looks good

[@mabylene]

You would need to eat around 80 apple seeds in one day to experience any negative effects, and a lot more in order to cause death. I think it'll be okay

[@jyotisonawane2779]

Right bruhh....i was like wtf you're doin??take out SEEDS of the apple they are POISONOUS!!!!!

[@themeatnpotatoes]

Temp control is paramount to get the correct flavor when using yeast, keep it at or around 64f for most yeasts

[@friendly.little.monster]

It's apple season in Canada and I've never seen them more expensive.

[@Yeofinfinitemanlynes]

The balloon with drop the pH of the solution and kill the yeast prematurely. Trapping the CO2 with reintroduce it into the water as carbonic acid, the water lock allows the CO2 to leave - it also allows the oxygen to dissipate overtime to prevent oxidative degradation

[@Yeofinfinitemanlynes]

Also grinding the seeds will add a bitter flavour

[@JeffreyWelch]

That balloon will fly off quickly I predict

[@crazyprophet3276]

You can naturally ferment it without the yeast added in, I guess if you don't have the patience wine yeast works

[@CidKagenouNotShadow]

Secure the threading of the lid with pipe(thread) tape and use rubber band at the tip of the balloon

[@tiyman.2811]

Get an airlock it’ll save your life and you’ll have a lot of fun fermenting things. It’ll make the process so much easier and visibly allow you to measure the rate of CO2 production.

[@bubblegumplaylists6820]

its apple wine season here in southern appalachia

[@dexterne]

Fermentation will generate several times the volume of CO2 as the original liquid. A typical gallon of 5% beer generates about 20 gallons of CO2. It will vary based on sugar content and attenuation. Get an airlock or get ready to burp that balloon regularly.

[@zelbel5043]

Alternative method to the balloon: Get a plastic tube that is cleaned out and sterilized, then secure it to the container on one end then have that run down to a glass half full of water, all the air will go in there and any insects attracted by the scent (like wine flies)and you can also see when the fermentation proses is done when there is no bubbles left. Then leave it for like a day just to make sure that there is no bubbles left and to insure that everything is done fermenting.

[@theofield8953]

Do you know what variety of apples you used?

[@daughterofenoch677]

Just stuff from the market.

[@manuelmenendez8239]

You need an alcohol seal valve. It can get contaminated through the opening. Maybe not super likely but why risk it? It costs maybe $5

[@kdkay4039]

Can you use the apple scraps to make a jam or jelly? When I get apples in bulk I save the skins and cores to make an amazing jelly! That way nothing goes to waste!

[@greenqueen2673]

You can use them to make vinegar. YT has a lot of videos on how to do it.

[@dontblattme7227]

Do you include the seeds? Dont they have a negligible amt of cyanide?

[@AnestheticsForAna]

Do you know what negligible means? You would have to eat literally thousands of seeds to ingest a deadly amount of cyanide

[@pulkitgupta5367]

Exactly, negligible. You would have to eat many thousands of seeds in 1 sitting to get remotely sick.

[@mysterymeat1216]

@@pulkitgupta5367 congrats on being misinformed. Each seed has a different amount of cyanide so it can be anywhere from ~80 to ~500
