I could not resist this $7.29 jug of apple cider. Having a few more tools in my fermentation arsenal I decided to try one of the simplest ways to make alcohol which is right out of Sandor Katz's book. Just remove the cap and secure cheese cloth across the top. This is a open fermentation. Apparently the cider will taste quite good from days 3-5. After that a sour / dryness will kick in as the beverage begins it conversion to vinegar. I kicked this off on a Tuesday hoping to be able to drink the cider over a weekend.

You probably already know this from your post. This will ferment to vinegar if you leave it open to air with only cheese cloth. If all goes well, you will end up with a big jug of apple cider *VINEGAR* not hard apple cider. If you're looking for alcohol, you need anaerobic fermentation. I think you tried this before with a balloon rig.
