First batch done!

[brewman551]

Just bottled my first batch of hard apple cider! Ended up with a FG of about 1.050 or so after priming sugar. Bottled 44 twelve ounce bottles. In a few weeks we'll be able to sample the goods!

That sounds pretty high. What was the sg before adding priming/bottling sugar?

fg of 1.050? are you sure? if so, you have apple-flavored sugar water. you'll end up with glass shards everywhere, too

 

[brewman551]

Actually lumpher is right. The FG actually was about 1.005, maybe even 1.004.

that sounds much better. good luck on it, and may it come out even better than you hope
