Hello
Well I embarked on my first cider journey. I am using whole foods apple cider in the handy glass bottle.
1 St bottle
Nottingham ale yeast
1/4 cup molasses
64 degree room
2ND bottle
Red star champagne yeast
1/4 cup brown sugar
64 degree room
Started on 5 July red star has stopped bubbling almost 1 bubble every 15 min. Racked it into a different jug ( working on patience still). Tasted pretty good little tart but a nice kick. Did not get hydro reading before but have .95 now.
Like i said just started this on the 5th so some questions.
1. When it comes to sweetening could you not have a sg that would produce more alcohol than the yeast could consume?
2. Any thing I might have done wrong or might need to do soon. This is kind of confusing I catch on quickly but starting is confusing with the amount of info and the wide difference between it.
Thanks Paul
