Never Shake A Baby, Unless It's A Yeast-Baby!

I must confess at this stage - having never brewed cider before - that I don't have a lot (which is to say any) experience with cider yeast.

It's the small hours of the morning and I'm giving my yeast baby a bit of a shake. And no, that's not a euphamism, so get your minds out of the gutter, you filthy shits! While it seems to be producing CO2 and that yeasty smell, there's no milky sediment like with a beer baby.

I suppose cider wort (being essentially reconstituted apple juice n' shit) is different from beer wort. Who knows how different the cider yeast strain is to what I'm used to.

I should probably take Celia's advice and stop second-guessing my every more. I had my doubts about the last one, and that ran a goddamn freight-train through the Cerveza! Hopefully this one will do a similar job on the cider.
