| 1 | For those of you in apple country it is time to start seeing roadside stands with those lovely gallon jugs of cloudy apple cider. |
| 2 | If you do nothing it will start fermenting at room temperature so here is the first zero cost trick to keep it from exploding or becoming contaminated. |
| 3 | Replace the cap with an unopened lunch sandwich bag so there are two layers covering the mouth. |
| 4 | Hold in place with a rubber band. |
| 5 | Puncture both layers with a pin. |
| 6 | Move the plastic a little so the hole don"t line up. |
| 7 | Drink when the bubbling slows, 5-7 days. |
| 8 | : for kick -- add 1 to 1 ?cups of sugar (never two unless you like it sweet). |
| 9 | : for consistancy -- add half a pack of dry baker"s yeast. |
| 10 | ~---- : fermenting time about the same for all three, decide by fewer bubbles, refrigerate to keep at some level of fermentation. |
| 11 | ~---- : you can do a lot better than this but you need to get a book on making fruit wines. |
| 12 | But this is how to do it with things around the kitchen |
