Hey,
So I used 1 gallon of Whole Foods 365 Apple Juice. I used just a teaspoon of Yeast and a 1/4 teaspoon of nutrient and 1/3 teaspoon of Pectic Enzyme (to help with color).
I calculated and my finished cider after 5 weeks was just above 5%.
I racked my cider on day 6 and...
I have bottle therms on all my brew bottles. I brew between 63-65 degrees and then rack in storage at 60 degrees. I did just finish a 6 day stage 1 and 45 day stage 2 of a S-04 yeast...and it tastes like juice. I'd tested it and should be right around 5% so it...simply put is delicious.
