Hey All -
I'm an experienced homebrewer and I have about 20 years of beer brewing behind me.
I made my first hard cider about 6 weeks ago, and I realized that I never took my O.G. I kind of got out of the habit as I am pretty good at hitting my targets with beer and well, I just plain forgot to do if for this cider.
Now I find myself with a total guess at where the heck I was starting from with this cider. Here were my fermentables:
6 Gal of clean local cider with an S.G. of 1.050
5 lb of dark brown sugar.
As I said before, it's been 6 weeks now and I am down to a S.G. of 1.000.
I have NO idea what my Alc % is. Can you guys help me with this?
