Ingredients Apple Jacks Cider Extract 2 lbs. corn sugar Mangrove Jack's Cider Yeast 100% Spring Water O.G. - 1.050 - ( Most makers on you tube had this gravity, I didn't do one ) F.G. -  1.006 % -     5.8                                                                 Day 1 - Done at 9:30 am when I pitched the yeast.
