Just moved my first cider out of the primary, into he secondary along with some PS. Pulled some test samples (of course) and it was good, but very acidic. So much so that only a few sips really burned. Not an alcohol burn, definitely acidic. The recipe was just apple juice, water and sugar. Safale 05 yeast.
I back sweetened with a syrup of 2 cups water, 2 cups brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon. It helped a little, but it still burns.
Is there anything I can do to help before I bottle? RDWHAC? This is my first cider so you may tell me to chill out and let it mellow. I thought that I read somewhere that cider is good to drink as soon as it is done?
