Re: Quick booze for turkey day?

[yahoo]

I made a cran-apple cider with no sugar for Turkey Day and it came out
quite good. It fermented for approx. 3-days before we drank it. The
hydrometer read ~2.5% alcohol (the bubbles created during carbonation
could also screw up the density/alcohol percentage reading).
Thanks for the advice!
