I made on 2/20/10 my first cider recipie and was looking for a dry cider and have a few questions about it.
Recipie is as follows:
4.5 gallons of apple cider without preservatives and was just pasteurized.
juice of 3 key limes with 1 cup of water and simmered for acid
1/2 tsp yeast nutrient
1/2 tsp Grape tannin for mouthfeel
White labs English Cider Yeast
It appears to be done fermenting however is as cloudy as it was when starting. How can I clarify it? What fining agents would you recommend?
I forgot to take a OG reading so what could one estimate my alcohol content in this from your past experiences.
Even with using a gelatin or finier will it still be able to prime and bottle? I am new to fining agents and wasnt sure if it would knock all the yeast out of suspension and not be able to prime.
Thanks for your help
