Batch, Feb 9:
-- 4 gal. Mussleman's Cider (no preserves)
-- Corn syrup to make OG = 1.085
-- Lalvin 1118 yeast
-- Temp. 73 F.
-- 5 tsp Fermax yeast nutrient
-- 2 tsp Barrel Sundries Pectic Enzyme
My goal: Apfelwein @ 0.099
Day 2: 67 burps per minute on the airlock!
Day 4: 2 bpm on the airlock.
Day 6: No bpm at all, SG= 1.045
Day 8: 1st Rack off lees
Day 24: 2nd Rack off lees
Today (Day 47): 3rd Rack off lees, SG still @1.045 (very clear, almost no fine sediment)
QUESTION: What's the best way to achieve my goal of 0.099?
