Hey all,
After years of brewing beer I had my hand at hard cider via the press. One year later my cider is still in my primary (in a cool room). I've neglected to take the next step and bottle it. Right now, it looks very clear (with some natural sediment on the bottom), but has a floating (circular) island of sediment on the top. I assume that this is a colony of some sort. Yeast? Botulism? Need for worry?
Do you think it is still safe to bottle and drink? Should I throw in a campden tablet for good measure? Should I pour it down the drain??
Any info would be great! Thank you much.
Dave
