Loving this community, tons of great advice, thanks all!
So, i made a 2 gal batch using Grandpa's Cider Mill Honey Crisp cider from whole foods, added about 3/4 pound of brown sugar and some wine tannin, pectin enzyme and acid blend (at the suggestion of the local HBS). Went into the primary at 1.070 and 9 days later it's down to about 1.002! As you could guess its very dry and strong and is also really cloudy. Guess I should have checked it sooner!
My question is... How can I salvage the batch, and how can I go about back-sweetening it?
It is in a 6 gal plastic bucket now, was planning in racking to two 1 gal glass carboys.
Any help or advice is much appreciated!
Thanks.
