Hard apple cider typically ferments for about one to three weeks, depending on the specific recipe and conditions. Primary fermentation usually lasts around one to two weeks, during which the yeast converts sugars into alcohol. After primary fermentation, many cider makers choose to age the cider for an additional few weeks to several months to enhance its flavor and clarity. Always monitor fermentation progress and taste regularly to achieve the desired results.

I have had commercially prepared apple cider vinegar that has remained good for years. You will have to make the decision whether the expired vinegar meets your standards.
Cyder, commonly known as cider, originates from fermented apple juice. It has a long history, with origins tracing back to ancient civilizations in the Mediterranean, particularly in regions like France and Spain. The fermentation process typically involves crushing apples, extracting the juice, and allowing it to ferment with the help of natural or added yeast. Today, cider is produced in various styles around the world, reflecting local apple varieties and fermentation techniques.
Yes, you can freeze apple cider in a plastic jug for long-term storage. Just make sure to leave some space at the top of the jug for the liquid to expand as it freezes. Thaw in the refrigerator when ready to use.
Apple Cider Vinegar or ACV has been around for a long time yet many doctors do not prescribe it for ailments that it is perfectly capable of treating.
Apple Cider vinegar never goes bad but the appearance and flavor may start to deteriorate over time. There is no need to keep in the fridge. Keep in tightly sealed bottle to increase shelf life. Properly stored, apple cider vinegar will generally stay at best quality for about 2 years, but will stay safe indefinitely. Over time, apple cider vinegar may become cloudy - this is not harmful; the vinegar will still be safe to consume if it has been stored properly. Unpasteurised (raw) vinegar might have or starts to grow a cloudy and somewhat cobweb-like structure. This is the vinegar mother that turns alochol into vinegar. Pasteurized vinegars contain none of the health-promoting characteristics of traditional raw vinegars, but they look good. You can make your own vinegar by adding some of the raw vinegar to apple cider or pear cider or ale or beer or wine or any alcohol. Tie a piece of guaze over the bottle opening to keep out insects and store in a dark place for a month or two till turns to vinegar.
The word cider has a long I and an unstressed E (schwa) sound.It rhymes with spider.
After opening, apple cider vinegar can last for a long time due to its acidity, which inhibits bacterial growth. It’s best used within 1 to 2 years for optimal flavor, but it can remain safe to consume well beyond that if stored properly in a cool, dark place. Always check for any changes in appearance or smell before use.
It depends on how long you stroke it.....
Pasteurized refrigerated apple cider is typically good for about 7 to 10 days when stored properly in the refrigerator. Always check for signs of spoilage, such as off smells or visible mold, before consuming. If unopened, it may last longer, but it's best to consume it by the expiration date on the label for optimal quality.
Not that long, it's almost instant.
