2g EC-1118, 100g sugar, 2L apple juice

After my mishap on my last post, I added an additional 1L of Apple juice and whatever amount of sugar it was I added. I hope it will be a success!

6 cloves of garlic, maybe 2 tbsp of freshly dried dill, 1 habanero.

I used 2 grape leaves cut to size (a little wider than the jar)

- 1 used to cap the potential floaties at the bottom (dill, garlic, pepper seeds)

- 1 as a topper

went walking around the neighbourhood trying to find an oak tree within distance to no avail. my neighbour has a grapevine. I'm also going to try to experiment a little with Indian bay leaf (3 veins in the leaves) and oak leaves once I get a chance. perhaps blackberry leaves as well. I have too many cukes!

So apparently, at one point last night the bottle became incredibly rotund. seriously, in awe at the size of the lad - to the point that it tipped over. someone, need I not mention, attempted corrective action which resulted in ~~blasting with piss~~ juiced rocketing out.

Last photo is the remainder of my first attempt. she's still bubblin' somethin' fierce, but, should I restart from scratch and pour the boxed juice into the container + sugar + yeast? I've read that I cannot use those containers as is.
