Just bottled my 1st simple cider 3gal batch-9qts. cheap apple juice,1lb. honey,1 can concentrated apple juice,40oz. water. S-05 yeast.Fermented 3wks. in primary FG- .998. Bottled w/ 1/2C sugar and 1C splenda.Tasted it and man, will my teeth ever feel the same again?It tasted fine, no off flavors and the sweetness was spot on but it is highly astringent/tannic ( makes your mouth wrinkle up big time)
I've brewed enough beer to know not to freak out on a green tasting but would like to know if this will go away with age.
Also, after it is carbed, should it be aged cold or at room temp. and for how long? Thanks in advance guys.
