I've used S-04 for my last two batches of cider. I like the flavor I'm getting and it seems to be stopping around 1.016-1.018.
I added plain sugar to the cider in order to condition (raised sugar level .03) but I'm getting little to no "fizz." My sugar levels are not changing much after two weeks of conditioning.
I've used champagne yeasts that have conditioned well (but they strip all the flavor too -in my opinion). So, what am I doing wrong? Or do ale yeasts have too low of an attenuation level to condition?
Thanks,
