Well, the last batch I made happened accidentally when I made a
gallon of mulled cider for the revel after the baronies triple play
of events last year. When the revel was over, most of the cider was
left, so I poured it back into the gallon bottle the juice came in.
There wasn't room in the refrigerator, so I left it out and it
started bubbling, so I let it continue. So there are some decent
yeasts in the air or on/in the spices I was using.
I'm rather surprised to hear a ale or beer yeast suggested. I would
have opted for a wine or champagne yeast myself. But then, as I
mentioned, after four different attempts to make cider over the
years, the only one I got that was any good was an accident.:-)
