So this is my first batch, I have done the following
today i siphoned a little off the top to try it and it is a darkish yellow with no bubbles and very clear. it smells like a white wine with a little funk kinda (its hard to explain, but its not a sulfur-like smell) i tasted it and it taste like a white wine that is tart. I don't really get much apple taste and its not sweet enough.
Ive heard to add some apple juice concentrate, but i was wondering if i could get some feedback on my cider now, suggestion on how to go from here and is the apple juice concentrate a good idea or not.
took fresh pressed, not preserved cider put it in a carboy after adding 3/4 a cup of sugar per gallon.
I added campden tablets per instructions
2 days later pitch my campanege yeast and some energizer
waited 2 weeks, stoped bubbling, thigs settled and cleared
