Was thinking about planting some trees myself What would grow well in NY and blend well for a sweeter cider

Not going to carbonate may back sweeten or might just age not sure yet

Ready to rack my cider off into gallon jugs should I add anything before I do this or just rack This is my first cider here about cider turning to vinegar Just looking for what's best

I live near buffalo

I used red star Cote blanc for the yeast it's bubbling pretty good only reason I as is I have 2 carboys of Niagara wine that are foaming and bubbling away and the peach and pear are just bubbling

Only thing I added was I Camden let sit for 24 hours then added redstar Cote blanc yeast, yeast nutrient, and 2 cups of sugar

Put up 4 carboys of juice a week ago the 2 carboys of Niagara juice is bubbling and foaming nicely the peach and pear juice is bubbling but not much of a head on it is this normal or is there something I should do. Its in my basement at 60 deg used yeast nutrient and redstar yeast
