Hey guys,
I have been lurking on here for a while and decided to finally ask a question.
I have recently finished my first batch of cider. I oaked it with whiskied french oak chips. I have added the stabilizer to inhibit yeast and am now ready to back-sweeten (as it sits this is some of the driest cider I have ever tasted). I wanted to sweeten it with honey but am not sure how to go about it. Since I have a finished product I am not to keen on the idea of stirring the stuff up. Any ideas on how to get the honey distributed throughout the cider?
I forgot to mention the specifics. 5 gallons of fresh-pressed cider, Lalvin 71B-122 starter, 4 ounces of French oak chips, 2 shots of whiskey (40 Creek). Meant to be a still cider.
