oh ya forgot to mention that, just before pasturizing backsweetened with about 100mL AJ concentrate per 650mL cider, roughly.

on my second batch. last time I had it in the primary for 2 weeks, then siphon to secondary, 2 weeks, then pasteurized then in bottles 1 week, then drink. does this method sound good to people?

Added some raisins to a batch of cider. forgot to chop them first, they are all floating. should I wait for them to sink before racking? will they eventually sink?

I added raisins to a batch of cider. added them to the primary, they are all floating, should I wait for them to sink before racking to the secondary? and will this even happen? @MarkkE the Crasins idea sounds really yum.

Hi All, Just finished my first batch of cider (only 2L, cuse thats the size of carboy I have). I did a number of things wrong, so that it tastes OK (watery but not bad) is a bit of a miracle! My girlfriend thinks the cider tastes very alchoholic, I'm not so shure. no added sugar or anything...
