  • Question
    I had a jug of apple cider that became fermented. Is there a way of reversing that process so that the alcohol is gone from it?
    Community Answer
    No, unfortunately you cannot reverse the fermentation process.
  • Question
    Is the finished product alcoholic?
    Community Answer
    Yes, it is. Fermentation is a metabolic process that converts sugar into acids, gases or alcohols. It occurs in yeast and bacteria, and also in oxygen-starved muscle cells, as in the case of lactic acid fermentation. Fermentation is also used more broadly to refer to the bulk growth of microorganisms on a growth medium, often with the goal of producing a specific chemical product.
  • Question
    How long do I have to cook the cider?
    Community Answer
    Only until the cider has reached the temperature of at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit, a process known as pasteurization, to remove any food borne illnesses from your cider. This could take really any amount of time, depending on how you are heating it.
