Ummm. Yes it can. Lots of interesting colors and shapes growing in

there. But then, maybe that wasn't yeast.

Oh??? I thought apple juice and apple cider as sold in the grocery

were the same thing. More details on how you would know what you
are getting and how you would change the pH, please.

I've noticed that Central Market and probably other "health food"

stores carry unpasterized, Freshly squeezed apple cider/juice. I'll
probably try this next time instead of the frozen or bottled stuff.

We went out looking at houses this afternoon. When we get to the point

of looking at the insides, I think I will be looking for houses that
aren't carpetted everywhere. So I can do some brewing with less fear
of a major cleanup project if the bottles or fermenter explodes.
