Sorry for confusion, it started at 1.07 and had a nice two week ferment in 55-60 degree temps that brought It to 1.007. We then cold crashed. After cold crashing, it read 1.005, and that is where we sit today, 70 days since yeast pitch.

OG was 1.07, then it was cold crashed at 30-35 degrees for 2 weeks and now has been sitting stable at 1.005 for 30 days. We racked it twice during cold crash. Originally Used campden, nutrient, pectic enzyme and then pitched Nottingham. Vessel is a 55 gallon blue plastic (food grade) drum...

Wouldn't it work to release a co2 blanket from a tank on top of the cider and then plug with airlock?

I have a 55 gallon plastic barrel that was filled from a local orchard press. Pitched Nottingham on 11/27 and then cold crashed on 12/15 at 1.007. Racked it on 12/20 to new barrel. I Took reading today and it's at 1.005 and tastes good. I'm still storing it in sub 40 degree temps. I would...

I did the initial fermentation in a 5 gallon bucket and then transferred to secondary carboy after 10 days when the gravity was at 1.000. Pectic enzyme was initially used. The transfer to secondary occurred 26 days ago, and within a week the cider had cleared. Now, suddenly it's cloudy and...
