I am sure I read up on the questions I have here while perusing the thousands of messages on the Man I love Apfelwein page... but I don't feel like going through that again.
I have a batch that's been in primary for 5 weeks now. I checked the gravity yesterday and it's at 1.000. (FWIW I tasted the sample and man, it's awesome. If it truly gets better with more age it's going to rock... it's drinkable right now!) It's still a bit cloudy, but I can tell it's clearing very very slowly.
I really need to get that carboy freed up. Assuming my FG is in fact 1.000, can I bottle while it's still a tad cloudy? Are there any cons to this? I plan on bottling half of it still and then adding some priming sugar (little over 1/3 of a cup) to the rest to carbonate it to see how I like it.
If I wait until it clears will there be enough yeast still in suspension to carb half of the batch?
