Looking for input. I just got three, three gallon carboys filled with fresh pressed cider from Windy Hills Orchard in SC. I was planning to let one carboy ferment naturally with the wild yeast from the apples and planned to use SafCider AB-1 Yeast for the other two. But, I learned when getting the cider that it had been thermally pasteurized so now I want to find a way to harvest wild yeast. I am considering three options:

- I have apples from the orchard and am considering taking the skins of a few and putting them in the carboy. This assumes the apples have not been washed or cleaned. I have emailed the orchard and am waiting for confirmation.
- Leaving the cider in an open container for a day(?) to harvest what is in my area (Summerville, SC, in November).
- Harvest from dried fruit of some sort.
