Ah, I see now. I didn't think to try that just cause most the flavor would be lost do to fermenting. How did it turn out flavor wise?

What is fajc? And once I hit my target fg I figured I'd have the same around 8.5-9%.

Taste like piss, lol. No but seriously it sucks. Apple flavor is very light, has no head for being an ale, an the carbonation don't last. Also very expensive. I won't buy this again not suggest anyone else do so.

Also has anyone played with adding more dextrose in the beginning? My juice started the same as USM, sg was 1.051 and I added the 2lbs of sugar and got 1.069. I wanted more alcohol so I added another lbs of sugar and got a og of 1.75. I figured with a target gravity if 1.10-1.015 I should get...

So the cinnamon will mellow out ok then, but did you have a problem with the syrup like I did?

USM, I just started this today and I made my Carmel syrup now instead of later. My question is my syrup doesn't seem to have mixed proper. I have a sugar gel that sits in some of the remaining water and the cinnamon is strong. Will the constancy not matter and the cinnamon mellow out when mixed...

I used red star wine yeast, it was all I had. It only fermented for 12 days and started to back suck. I left it for a additional 2 days checking the gravity with no change.

Another question, I want to back sweeten this batch. Do I need to pasteurize it with this amount of abv or will it be ok not to.

The temp was at 68

I think so, my hydrometer say 1. And goes up from there. And thanks guys I think I was doing it correct then.

First batch of cider is done and now clarifying but I'm confused on the calculations to figure my abv. My start was 1.7 and finished with .99. I keep coming up with diff number ranging from 93... To 104... Ugh please help.

Awesome Ty!

I'm looking for wine bottles, and beer bottles(no twist offs) free or cheap. Will be willing to pick up if close enough. I'm located in Fort Wayne, IN. Thanks,

Do you have any bottles left?

Don't have any beer to trade (for now lol) but def interested in buying some from you.

Any ideas please, I don't want to wait to long and loose the batch. Ty

I started my first batch of cider 2 weeks ago. The cider I used had a sg of 1.05 (1gallon batch) so to raise my starting og I added 2 1/2c BS & 2T of honey. With that I got a og of 1.7. I added 1/2 teaspoon of wine yeast(all I had) and added my airlock. So after 2 weeks my airlock is now back...
