It carbed up nicely. Tastes pretty good. It’s a little “dull” tasting for lack of a better word. Not as “apple-ey” as I was expecting. But it is certainly drinkable. I think if I added some tannins somehow and a bit of citric acid, then it would “pop”.

Well after a little over 3 weeks in primary, fermentation was done. FG was 1.006. I racked into secondary to let it settle a bit. There was a lot of sediment at the bottom of primary and there is more building up in secondary even after only one day. It is still pretty cloudy. Tasted a sample...

Well unless my hydrometer is off, it sat right at 1.06 on the nose. But the Nottingham yeast that I use hasn't really ever gone completely dry for me. Usually it quits at 1.006 or 1.008.

Awesome! I'm hoping it will clear a little with the pectic enzyme that I put in there... it is a really hazy juice :)

This is what I used...

Yes the Costco stuff is preservative free. Ingredients list says : 100% Apple Juice.

Just started a batch of cider using Treetop’s Cosmic Crisp unfiltered cider that I came across at Costco. Has a SG of 1.06 off the shelf. I used Nottingham yeast and pectic enzyme. Has anyone used this juice before? I tastes delicious on its own.
