No the reason you do it half full is it takes longer tlfor it to get hard meaning your not opening to many bottles premature

Fill coke bottle half full put out in dark place when coke bottle gets hard test one should be really firm to the touch...

I second that

Ya I'm not a fan either I have a glass of my cider then a few groelsh beers...

Rack it check gravity and taste it.....I like my cider about 6-7 abv and carbonated.... but yours mite be higher did you get an sg?

Use 71b-1122. And oak chips to start...and or drink it cold...but aging. Is best

Ya you want happy yeast or you will get bad smells

Yes mash them up throw them in

How long has it been aging?

Did you ad any nutrient? And no only time will help the yeast right now you have them in suspension once you cold crash for a week let it settle and age youbwill be fine

That's the idea....you can do this a few times its called step feeding its good if your trying to get hi abv

Final product

Yes. I would let it set on the hops a week to 2 weeks then rack

Well the boozing taste is from your addition of table sugar...( whole bunch of white sugar, i dont remember how much) this is going to take a lot of time ....to mellow 3-8 months....if not a year....although it mite make a mixer....in the future I would suggest using any any thing other then...
