ok took 5 gallons of pasturized cider from local store, unfiltered local. added 2 pounds of dark brown sugar and english cider yeast, waited 5 days nothing. hydrated a packet of trusty ol 1118 and nothing. the only new thing here is the dark brown sugar and the brix reading showed a final frement of about 8% abv but the fermentation wont start. is it the brown sugar?:cross:
