Last weekend we made our first batch of Apple Cider and made a small mistake.
I was making a 5 gallon batch and decided at the last minute to split the recipe in half I made 2 2-1/2 gallon batches with different yeasts etc. I used the Costco 100% juice for this and S-04 yeast.
My mistake was after splitting the recipe I made the oops and added a lb of Corn Sugar I should have only added 1/2 lb. OG was 1.079. If I calculated correctly that puts if around 9%-10% ABV
I two options I see at this point leave it alone or try to correct it?? It is 9 days in the primary still active fermentation.
So should I leave it or move it into my 5 gallon carboy and add 2-1/2 gallons more apple juice to bring my final ABV closer to 6%??????
