Hi all... I'd like to try to make a pumpkin/apple cider for the fall. My wife and I both like a sweet cider, and I plan on kegging this one.
Is there a way to stop fermentation of a 5 gallon batch at around 1.020? I can keg carbonate but I don't want a super day cider. My understanding is that campden/other chemicals won't actually stop active fermentation.
Could I simply rack to a keg and drop the temperature down to the high thirties and assume I've put the yeast to sleep?
