I pressed 3 gallons of cider last night from trees that are on my property. Not sure of the type but the unfermented cider tastes great. It has a SG of about 1.05. I added campden last night to kill any wild yeast. Tonight I'm going to add brown sugar, yeast nutrient, and the Nottingham yeast I acquired from a local brewery.
Now my questions. First, does this sound good so far? Second, how should I go about adding the sugar? My plan right now is to take some of the cider and warm it up slightly (not boil) to get the sugar dissolved. Should I use water instead? How much yeast nutrient should I use?
Lastly, my plan is to cold crash and transfer to my keg for force carbing. Should I also use campden to stop the fermentation or will the cold crash be enough?
Sorry for the overload of questions. I searched and couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. Thanks in advance!
