5 gallons of pure Sonoma Apple Juice from the press.
2 pounds of White Sugar
2 pounds of Brown Sugar
1 cup of Blackstrap Molasses
1 Packet of Cote De Blancs - Red Star
1 month in primary
Racked to Secondary
1 month in secondary
Tonight I started to bottle. So here's my question.
I took 1/4 gallon to sample and tested with hydrometer. It is showing only 4% alcohol.... My question I suppose is how can it be so low in ABV, when I fully expected something around 10 to 13 percent?
I'm not an engineer or a English major but what the heck am I missing?
Thanks in advance
