Cider is too sweet

[Alphadawg]

I tried making 2.5 gallons of hard cider and basically followed the Brulosphy recipe. It was for a 5 gallon batch and called for 2 12 oz cans of concentrate after fermentation and chemical stabilization. I used 1 can of concentrate. My cider is too sweet. Is there anything I can do at this point? (I now remember that I did not stir in the concentrate, I just added the cider to a keg with the concentrate already in it.)

Depending on how gently you added the cider to the keg, it's possible you've got a layer of concentrate at the bottom of the keg. Since that's where your dip-tube takes from, try gently mixing the keg and see if this helps, keeping in mind that some sweet cider may still be in the dip-tube. So try a couple of glasses after mixing.

If it's still too sweet you could always blend it with another, drier batch?

Now I just feel dumb. I shook the keg to distribute the apple juice concentrate. It is perfect now! I love this bar!

Never feel dumb about this stuff, we all do silly stuff from time to time. One of the last brews I was going to bottle never made it into bottles. I left the spigot open on the bottling bucket while i was syphoning into it. At least it was in the sink...
