Another Round of Hard Cider

So the family and I went out apple picking at Shelburn Orchard last friday.  While I was there we grabbed some unpasteurized apple cider. 1/2 gallon of this was mine to do what I do.

Recipe:
1/2 gal. unpasteurized apple cider
3/4 lbs white cane sugar
1 tsp. mulling spice (This is a blend bought from my local herb shop. It has some dried orange peel, cinnamon, clove, and all spice.)
10 whole allspice (on top of what was in the mulling spice)

I put all this together and added a small shake of wine yeast, then shook the crap out of  the jug. I capped it with an air lock and set this next to the spiced viking in the kitchen.

It started slow but picked up speed after a couple days.
