I have about 3 gallons of cider in secondary right now. I initially put it into primary 2/26 and transferred to secondary on 3/29 (I also added a can of AJ to the secondary). It still looks very murky. Am I just too anxious or should this be clearing by now?
Here's the recipe I used:
3 .5 gallons of Mott's Natural (fresh pressed) 100% apple juice
2 .5 gallons of Mott's 1005 Natuaral apple juice (clear, not fresh pressed)
1 # light brown sugar
4 oz. lactose
1 packet Nottingham yeast
I know the recipe only adds up to 2.5 gallons but it came out almost 3 gallons.
Could the fresh pressed juice be the reason for the lack of clearing?
I plan on backsweetening with a can of AJ concentrate. What is the conversion of sugar for priming a 2.5 to 3 gallon batch?
Thanks for all your help!
