I had an extra 5 gallon plastic container laying around and I figured I would try my hand at some cider since all my carboys are full right now. I got 5 gallons of great value apple juice and added 2lbs of brown sugar and some cinnamon. This thing is still bubbling away but I used a champagne yeast and im worried that the alcohol will get too high and it will come through in the flavors too much. Sadly I was being really lazy in the preparation and never took took the OG.(I had to make an airlock out of home materials right before I pitched the yeast) Has anyone used this recipe before and remember what the OG was? or can someone give me an estimate of what it should be? I believe that just plain apple juice sits around 1050 or so? idk any help would be awesome. FG right now is 1060.
