OK sara thanks. This is what I ended up doing yesterday. Made my syrup but in bottling bucket andded my cider stirred well siphoned into keg let sit couple hours and added k-sorbate. Gonna put on co2 today. Am I gonna be OK?
So I have a three gallon carboy that I have cider in. It had to cracks in it so I sealed them...I thought now almost a week into it noticed that it was leaking. Can I just rack into one gallon jugs or what should I do?
OK gonna start a three gallon batch tomorrow. Here is my revised recipe. Bottles of a.j. are 3 qt.
Caramel apple hard cider
Ingredients
3 gallons of apple juice
1.14 lb of sugar
Lalvin EC 1118 wine yeast
Ingredients, Part 2
3 campden tablets (Optional, see notes)

I am going to try this for sure but a quick question. Can I use table sugar, pure cane sugar, instead of dextrose and I f I do how much do I use. What's gonna be the difference?
OK there doesn't seem to be any airlock activity. I use gallons with pin holes in them. Gallon has not aired up at all so no activity. Should I add yeast energizer or nutrient?
Actually my great grandmother makes it. I just get from her when she has some made. When the mayhaw come in season I could probably get a couple and send your way.
