Well I took a hydrometer reading of my first batch of hard cider and its definitely done. I tasted it and its not what I expected. I was looking for a lot of apple cider flavor with some bite and what I got was 5 gallons of wine that tastes dry like Pinot Grigio or champaign. Actually its quite good. Now I don't know what to do with it. Do I prime it or do I just bottle it leaving it flat? Does anyone know if I can bring back some apple flavor?
I used 5 gallons of Apple juice and I added 4 lbs of corn sugar and Montrachet yeast. I have a feeling the extra corn sugar made it dry and yeast I used produced the wine flavor.
