Wow! I am watching my gallon of cider closely and ferment away. I may have to put a blow off tube on it shortly! Matter of fact I just add the tube to be safe. Those yeasties are really working hard!

Yep I got foam bubbles traveling through the length of a 2.5 foot blow off tube right now. Never expected this from a cider.

 Hard Apple Cider One Gallon 10/13/2012
1 Gallon Mussleman's Cider
1/3 cup Brown Sugar
2/3 cup  Sugar boiled in a little water with about a tea spoon of lime juice (Inverted sugar)
1/4 cup Agave Nectar
O.G. 1.07
1/2 Tea spoon yeast neturent
1.5 grams of Safale 05 yeast in a starter
   Aerated the apple cider for about 20 min.
10/13/2012
   Added yeast starter at 12 noon
   Airlock started bubbling slowly at 6pm = 6hr.
  Early morning Airlock bubbling steady every 1.6 seconds.  20 hours after yeast starter added.
10/14/2012   Bubbling very hard and steady had to put on a blow off tube around 1pm.
