Just racked my clementine cyser to secondary and remembered to take a gravity reading. Unfortunately, I did not get an OG reading so all I can really do here is guess.
My gravity reading today is 0.994. I plugged my ingredients into the gotmead.com calculator, it is telling me that my cyser is over 18%. This just doesn't seem right, my yeast hits it's alcohol tolerance at 15%.
Here is my recipe, if anyone has any insight-
25-30 sultana raisins
4 clementines
1/2 tsp pectic enzyme
3 cups clover honey (I need a scale)
Unfiltered organic apple juice to 1 gallon
Red Star Pasteur Champagne yeast
Mixed everything but yeast and honey, then after 24 hours added honey and yeast. Not sure why I waited on the honey, but I did. Warmed the honey in a hot water bath just enough to make it flow nicely but that is the only heat I added.
Next time, I will be sure to get the OG. Thanks guys!
