Last year I made the popular Ed Wort apfelwein and it took around 4 months before it was drinkable and around 6 to get really good. This year I used apple cider instead of juice and Nottingham ale yeast instead of Montrachet wine yeast. Will this have an effect on the length of time until it's ok to drink?
Cider with ale yeast-sooner drinkablilty?

in any batches i've done notty took longer, but it tastes a lot better! it depends on how much sugar you added, a lower OG will be drinkable sooner. high ABV cider will be harsh for months
