Hello everybody,
I started a Cyser on Saturday January 16th with the following recipe:
2.2 lbs honey
1 gallon apple juice (spreadsheet says 0.81 gallons)
1/2 packet 71B-1122
¾ tsp nutrient
½ tsp energizer
Its been going now for a week and a half and I have a few questions about it.
1. The airlock is popping every 30 seconds right now. Would this be typical or would it normally be faster then that?
2. I read some where that you can measure the SG one day, then measure it again 3 days later and if the SG hasn't changed in that time, then that means the yeast is done fermenting. Is that true?
3. Lastly, should I be leaving this in the bottle untill it clears or should I be racking it off after it is done fermenting whether it is clear or not?
Thanks.
