    Oak my cider: two options

    I am not into specific gravity and all that, so forgive my countertop brewing. I have five gallons that I am going to ferment to about 16-18% or as high as the EC1118 will get it. Then back sweeten with honey, not much, but just a little. I will let this sit in the big jug to make sure it is...

    Cider too long in fermentation, options?

    I am entirely new here. So this might be a stoopit comment, but doesn't brown sugar have sulfur in it? Brown sugar= white sugar and molasses. Most molasses has sulfur.

    Using supermarket brand AJ. Ascorbic acid? Makin AppleVino.

    I don't have many choices of juice, last batch made with store brand cider with nothing added and came out nice. Latest batch has ascorbic acid in it. Added to dregs of last batch and see activity and can certainly smell it. EC 1118 yeast. 4 gallons juice, 4 lbs sugar. Once it stops...
