first post so Hello to all!
Made my first cider on the 8th with organic apple juice no preserves and one pound of corn sugar. OG was 1.060 fermented till the 15th and it was at 1.018 so I added P.M.(potassium metabisulphite) to stop the ferm. Also decided to cold crash it in the fridge to make sure the yeast stopped fermenting and die off so i can backsweeten/flavor later. Checked the gravity today(1.018) and it had the rotten egg smell but tastes ok. I didnt notice this smell when I added the P.M. so im a lil worried it might be H2S and I read that rhino farts are early in fermentation not later. Plan on racking/aerating it in the morning to help figure it out but any suggestions wouldbe appreciated! Thanks.
