So everything I have done up to this point is pretty stupid and probably my fault, but bare with me, I'm just hoping to save the batch at least. so I have 3 gallons of cider plus 2# of confectioners sugar (I know, stupid) that have been sitting in a NOT airtight fermenter for about 2 weeks now. take note that i never added campden, and the cider was pasteurized when i bought it. now after 2 weeks this has appeared on top of the cider.
It has a smell that seems to have somewhat of a bite to it, but it also smells almost sickly sweet. so is this bad or is this just a natural ferment going through the motions? any help is greatly appreciated.
