Hello. I did my second batch. SG was 1,065. Used safale s04 yest and pasteurized cider, it fermented for a week till gravity was 1,015. I then racked cider to secondary ant bottled right away. Left it in cool place at 57F temperature for some time and nothing happened, then I took it in warmer...

Thanks. And what about sediment? Is there a way to reduce its amount in cider?

Hello, One more question. Is racking to secondary necessary? Can i bottle from primary? And if yes, how do I fight with sediment in cider? I sip about 7 oz for gravity reading and it is full of sediment. I used safale s04 yeast.

Did you use any priming solution? My cider is at 1.020 now. I am thinking about racking at 1.015 and bottling right away. will that work? My desire is slightly sweet carbonated light cider. Sg was 1.065

Will yeast ferment new sugar after 1 month in secondary?

And what about bottling? Do I need somekind of c02 purging then bottling?

hello, My cider is aging for a month now. And I want to taste it, but I am afraid to get air in the keg and damage my cider. I have read somewhere, that cider which has completed its fermentation course and is at complete stop of bubling is needed to use co2 gas to force all air out of the keg...

So I left about 7 gallon to ferment. And after 10 days it is slowing down. I checked the sugar level in the cider and it is about 5-10g/L ( started with 50-100g/L) and according to my hydrometer instructions it should be around 6-7% ABV. I tasted my cider and it is now a little too dry for me...

Ah, sipped a little bit of cider and now it has more space for foam. :)

Hello. First time making cider. I made everything and cider is now fermenting, but as I red in some tutorials I poured cider almost to the top of the demijong bottle. Now I see that some foam is building and it almost reaches the bung. What to do?
