Well that's the question...
I started fermenting almost 3 weeks ago (started on June 28). I've noticed that the bubbles have slowed down a lot (I know I know that's not a sign of anything...)
I started with 5 gal of Motts Apple Juice
2 lbs Dark Brown Sugar
1 lbs Corn Sugar
1 pk Nottingham Yeast
Like I said earlier, I'll be approaching the 3 week mark soon. Do I rack to secondary and put it aside for a while longer? Should I top it off with more Apple Juice to take up the increased headspace after I rack it? (all I have are 6gal better bottles)
This is my first cider. I don't know exactly what my next step "should be". I realize ciders and wines usually take a lot of time and I'm not in a hurry. I just want to know if I should do anything more after 3 weeks.
