Thanks S-Met.

It's a cheap off brand,very little info on label.flavored Canadian whisky? So ill top off secondary and if get a little fermentation that's ok,ill wait. I may sorbate and sulfite and bottle still cider.

Yep, I use tap water dosed with Camden tablets for chlorine / cloromine. Don't know my water chemistry, it's relatively hard is all I know. Thinking maybe dilute by half with R.O. water? Ounce or 2 acid malt.

No it's not over 100 percent. Not even 100. Someone more knowledgeable than me can chime in and explain. But ya done good.

Ok, gotcha. Looks like dry sparkling cider or sulfite and sorbate still sweetish cider.

Wow! Ok then maybe very little to no priming sugar then? hmmm.

So are we saying liqueur is fermentable?That is the question I guess.

Yes, I'm adding priming sugar at bottling. So theoretically a little non fermentable sweetness.

Groovy!

That's what I thought. So if i top off with 1 cup or less I should still be able to bottle carbonate, correct?

Hmmm. Really? How is it sweet now and not fermenting? It's store bought liqueur.

It tastes sweet but will this referment? If not, will it prevent bottle carbonation? It's a one gallon cider with 71b. From local orchard. Thinking probably 3/4 cup,it's 20 percent A/V liqueur.

Thanks, ill check it out.

Yes. Actually started using a pre chiller in ice bath and using Irish moss after the hazy blond . Hmm maybe that's all I needed. Need to brew another light colored beer to see. Didn't know how important that is. Good call. Well see next batch. Thanks!

I doubt you'll notice any oxidation. But still I'd go ahead and drink up before it has a chance.

I'm in Clarksville, Oh.

Well my centennial blond was 7# two row .5# Crystal 10 and .5 #Vienna so light grain bill, no adjuncts. So I don't know?

Yes boil the same, my Irish red was beautiful. Arrogant Bastard beautiful, centennial blond never cleared same process? Maybe the dark malt is helping my mash ph. Don't mess with water other than Camden tablets for chlorine, no way to measure ph. I'm sure my water is hard that's all I know about it.

I have done both and it works great but my arrogant bastard clone for example is Crystal clear with only 5 days cold crash no gelatin, but centennial blond never cleared with weeks at 35?

All my darker beers clear nicely, ph? Water? Just seems odd. anyone else experience this?
