Hello,
I've got 6 carboys going of cider. One with champagne yeast and sugar added. ONe with wine yeast and sugar added. One with no yeast and sugar added.
And three with no yeast or no sugar. Of these three I'm hoping to add honey to make cyser towards the end of fermentation.
I've got two questions:
1) I meant to add the honey to make cyser before fermentation but did not have the honey. It's been 1 1/2 to 2 wees since fermentation has started. Can I still add the honey to make cyser? If so when would be the best time to add it? Now, or when fermenation is complete?
2) I havn't added yeast nutrient to any of the carboys though I meant to. Is it too late? (fermentation has been going for 1 1/2 to 2 weeks) Is yeast nutrient nessessary. Should I add any at this point?
