First time posting. I'm making cherry cider and have stored 1.3 gal in oak barrel for a little over 6 months. Beautiful color, tastes really good, SG=1.01. I expected SG would be no alcohol. I want it to be sparkling so I was going to add sugar to SG =1.01. My take is that the yeast died at some point in the barrel and didn't finish fermenting.
My question is: should I add a new batch of yeast and maybe yeast nutrient before bottling?
