I currently have three carboys of cider in various stages of fermentation.
Tonight I'd like to start a one gallon batch with a completely different recipe.
Here's what I need to know.
I plan to add a simple syrup made with brown sugar to increase the SG. I will be using fresh pressed juice from another orchard and a champagne yeast.
I plan to add NO sulphite since the juice was UV pasteurized. I will be adding yeast nutrient and since it is fresh juice, a bit of pectic enzyme to help it clear.
I need to know how much sugar to add to a one gallon batch and whether I should pitch the entire packet of yeast or not.
Would like to get her started tonight.
Any help out there?
Thanks.
