I made 3 batches. I made cran ras with 1/2 cup sugar and 1/8 yeast,apple cider with 1 cup sugar and 1/8 yeast, and hard ice tea with 1cup sugar and 1/8 yeast. How does this all sound? My wife's will bethe cran ras. She doesn't want it too strong. How long should I let itferment? I want the other 2 with high alcohol content, I plan to letthem sit at least 10 days. Any ideas or opinions? Also when I put themin the fridge to stop fermenting what is the safest way to stop itcompletely? And would be filtering the brews through a coffee filter,then putting them in a new bottle be good? If so should I put aregular cap back on or the ez cap back on? Thanks.KenORGINAL POSTER: dee
