I made a batch of Graff Cider following the recipe down to a T except for a slight change in hopping.
So I let this ferment for 2 weeks and sit in bottle's for a week. I popped a bottle open to see where I was at and we were fully carbonated, nice head, fairly clear. The problem was i thought it to be a bit dry almost vinegary type taste, it was drinkable tho, sort of reminded me of a dry wine with carbonation. I gave my dad a glass and he said it had a sour taste to it. I didn't think so, bud my dad rarely drinks anything besides Bud Light so he isn't to well versed in the world of beverages, my buddy tried some as well and said he thought it was bad. Anyways, my question is, does this cider finish on the dry and tart side? I can't see that I did anything wrong except maybe open up the bottle too soon. If I let this sit for another week or two will this characteristic change?
