Hi fellow brewers,
I have a batch of cider in the carboy on day 3 of fermentation. It is a batch of 5 gallons with 4# of brown sugar, on Nottingham yeast. Help me make sure I have my next steps correct. SG was 1080
1. Wait until the fg is where I want it to be, then prime and bottle.
2. Test the bottles until the desired carb is reached then bottle pasteurize.
Or I could
1. Wait until fermentation is complete (side question, how far down will nottingham ferment down to?)
2. Back sweeten?
3. Prime then bottle?
Thanks for the guidance!
