  A friend of mine a Lady Penelope, once tried to make spiced cider for a 
revel. She bought 3 gallons of raw apple juice from a local farm. She placed 
a cinnamon stick onto each jug. Put the jugs into her garage and promptly 
forgot about them until spring. She looked with worry upon them and decided 
what the heck lets try. Ran it through a filter to clean out the sludge. 
Much to hers and our enjoyment she had an incredible good tasting hard cider 
.
  So I have to agree sometimes you get real lucky. Some times it is best 
just to leave it alone, and let mother nature have her way.
She's lucky she didn't have glass bombs in her garage if she just sealed 
them. So she's doubly lucky I guess. I usually losen the lid to let out gas every 
now and then, forgot to once and for that reason there is a patched place in 
the ceiling of my old apartment that I'm hoping the management never found....
