Hi how do you ferment the cider for, and for how long?

[GregArnett1965]

I do not ferment my cider. I freeze my cider to preserve it. I have read on other sites that after putting in the airlock that you ferment it for 2-3 weeks. I've had some unintentionally ferment while it sat out too long and it went much quicker than that.

I've had comments about what we've used for filtering material. I'll note that I'm now using a piece of fine bridal netting. Although I do get a very fine amount of sediment now, it is very fast filtering and I've read that the "thicker" your cider is the better it is for you health wise.

I had a chance to taste this cider on a recent mission trip to Michigan and it was the best cider I have ever had! Thanks for sharing your technique and cider Greg and Al!
