It's really not that hard if you follow a few safety precautions that have be outlined here.

I don't have pics yet. But I do have the materials.
15 cans of 100% apple juice
4kg of sugar.
42g of yeast..(I'm only supposed to use one packet..but the packets come in three's. So do I use 8g (single packet) or the content of all three packets combined..24g) I got a spare one because they were two for one.
5 gallon jug.
Hose and a secondary jug.
Someone mentioned we could use a balloon with a pin prick in it to release air...but I don't want to risk it..so I'm going to twin bottle, one with the ingredients and the other with water and a hose in it.
So, it's all systems go brahs...Pics will follow later tonight.

Sounds like the beginnings of something special...

Either way I'm sure it will be humerus

Okay bros, crunch time...will 8 grams of yeast be enough for the give gallon jug?
Hit me with your knowledge..also, I have dial up..so if anyone wants to put in five minutes of research I would be more than happy to ship them a bottle.

I've found info stating anywhere from 5 grams of yeast per gallon, to 5 grams of yeast per 5 gallons, all depends how sweet you want the cider, and what type of yeast you are using...
Check here, not to many pics, so the site should load ok, even on your dialups

Or try this that I found on a home brewers forum

This is my first attempt at a five gallon batch of hard cider. I made a previous 2.5 gallon batch that turned out really well if a little sweet. For that batch I used an ale yeast. This time around I used champagne liquid yeast. Here is my recipe, if anyone has any comments I'd really like to hear them. Couple of questions, what is the optimal length of primary fermentation? Once racked to the secondary fermenter, how long should it stay in there? Most importantly, I'd like to make this a sparkling cider so what amount of priming sugar should be used for a five gallon batch like this? By the way, the sugar measurements are random since that is what I found in the pantry on brew day.
5 gallons Zeigler's Apple Cider, not from concentrate, pasteurized, 100% juice
Wyeast Pasteur Champagne Yeast #4021, 4.25 fl. oz.
9 oz. light brown sugar
25.75 oz. dark brown sugar
1 lb. 2oz. Wildflower Amber Honey (365 Organic Brand)
27.25 oz. Turbinado Sugar
2 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. whole cloves
couple dashes of pumpkin pie spice
1.5 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 tbl. pure vanilla extract.
Process: dissolved the sugars and honey in 2 gallons of the cider at about 150 degrees on stovetop then combined with remaining 3 gallons of cider in primary. Pitched yeast when must at 75 degrees. Fermentation began in earnest 24 hours later. Seeing 1 bubble every three seconds in airlock and about .25 inch of foam on top.

How do you convert fluid ounces to grams?
I have in total, 42 grams of yeast..it's tradition dry baking yeast.
Each packet of the six, is 8g..and a lot of things say add one packet.
So...thoughts?

And ya, my guess would be just one packet of it, but thats just a huge guess...

I also read you can use regular baking yeast, but it's not recommend, but you add 1 to 2 grams yeast per gallon...

Look at it this way, if the hard cider thing doesn't work, he should have some pretty awesome paint thinner

I'm going to boil it, and drink it as just apple cider...
If that makes anyone feel better lol.
So, 1-2 grams per gallon.
So 8g per 5 gallons is reasonable. Thanks a lot Demo, you stay classy miss.
