I don't know the technical difference between "apple wine" and "hard apple cider". Oxygenate = yes. Nutrients = yes.

Starting SG = 1.125. Current SG, after six days, = 1.120. The rate of bubbles out of the air lock is about once every 10 seconds; slow fermentation.

Good p.m. Thanks for the reply. (1) Regarding measuring specific gravity ... I'm using a hydrometer. (2) Regarding my starting gravity ... that was a typo. It ought to have been 1.125. (3) To get % alcohol I'm using (staring gravity - ending gravity) * 131.25. So, if the cider ferments out to ~...

Good p.m. I am using "Super Yeast X-Press". I am trying to make apple cider with a relatively high alcohol level. I started off with 5.5 gallons of apple cider and added 12 lbs. of sugar which produced a starting specific gravity of 1.250. I also added some Go-Firm yeast nutrient and the mixture...
