Hello again from the kid in the desert who has not a clue. I took my first ever batch, two weeks into fermentation today, and transfered it to secondary as my airlocks have had no activity for a few days. I have not bought a hydrometer yet. I know, I know... I'm flying blind here and risk ruining it. Heres where I think I may have messed up. I tasted both blends and they were very bland. I realize this was impatient, but I couldn't resist. So I very impulsively threw in some more sugar. Is this a bad thing? Have I spoiled the potential fruits of my labors? Oh yeah, it's pear cider by the way, from fresh picked pears and that's all for juice. Any suggestions? Criticism, creative or otherwise? Thanks a lot for any help!!! And please understand that I am REALLY green here. I am learning a little by the day about this whole science.
