Hello!
So I have been brewing for 2+ years now, and never owned a hydrometer until yesterday...
That being said I decided to make a simple cider using the following:
2 x 1 Gallon Jugs of Musslemans Cider (apple juice and ascorbic acid only listed ingredients)
2x 12oz Cans Old Orchard Apple Juice Concentrate
24oz added water (rinsing the cans)
2c Brown Sugar
2 tbsp. Cinnimon Extract (home-made, Everclear + cinnamon sticks soaking for a year)
Pitched on top of about 1/2c US-05 yeast cake, fermented at 66 degrees for 2 weeks.
I measured my FG just for a test more than anything, and was sitting at .997 so I'm pretty sure fermentation was done.
Question being, is there any way to use the information above to determine what OG should have been?
