Hello
I'm samping my 1st homebrew which is a cider. The airlock slowed alot and i thought i would take a hydrometer reading to see if it's done. It's only been fermenting a couple of weeks. And last week it smelled pretty strong. Like something you wouldnt want to drink. And the smell went away.
Well the cider tasted great as a matter of fact. I guess it's only got around 12 percent abv right now and im hoping it would get a little stronger.
I basically want it to get stronger and have more of a spicy kick to it. Does anyone know what i should do at the 2 week mark? Just throw in some cinnamon or some other spice? Or leave it alone?
Also homebrewing kicks ass im so glad i found this hobby. I'm sure this cider isnt nearly as good as it could taste yet it makes the local storebought wine taste like cough syrup. This is so cool i may have to steal another "test" just to make sure i got the reading right.
