I am making cider from apples. So far I have got 7 gallons of cider (5gal carboy & 2 - 1gal jugs) fermenting away in the basement.
Here is the plan - Wait one week after primary fermentation completes then rack the cider.
Questions
1- how long should i leave it before bottling? (guessing until it clears and/or to taste but not sure here)
2- should i put camden tablets in before bottling if im planning on bottling it still or is this not necessary?
3- when aging in bulk or bottle what temp range is best? Basement is steady 70F now and will cool to around 50 in a cpl months
Thanks
