I bought some Mott's at the grocery store on sale. 6 gallons for $20. I decided to do the most simple cider I could do so I just pitched some US-05 and put an airlock on it.
Now it has fermented out to 1.000 and is steady. I racked it into a secondary and gave it a few weeks. It tastes great now. Similar to strongbow, dry and tart. Before I wasn't concerned about how it looked because it was an experimental batch, but now I really like this batch and want it to clear out. I didn't use any pectic enzyme when I pitched, is it too late to add some and have it clear?
My plan was to use my theif and take out a cup or two of cider, mix the pectic enzyme in that and add it back into the carboy. Then give the top part a stir to mix it in. Will this work or should I just go ahead and carb at this point?
