This is my second year making hard cider. I make six, 5 gallon batches. Turns out great! I normally take 5 gallons of sweet cider in the fall, add 5 lbs of granulated sugar and the right yeast (so far I like red star champaign yeast)
This year 3/6 fermented to dry at about 12% Alcohol. The other 3 seem to quit early and have a sweet taste with about 7-8 alcohol. All batches have been transfered to cornilus kegs.
The question: Can I simply re-add yeast to these early quiters to restart the fermentation and increase alcohol?
Thanks
Tim
