Popped the top, nice hiss. Poured into glass. Good carb. Lot's of tiny little bubbles. It's a little darker then Fireman's #4. Just about to sit down and give it a try. This is my first batch i've made.

So, this is my first extract brew (Real Ale Fireman's #4). Got my kit from AHB. I know the instructions say after primary let it sit in secondary for 5-7 days to help clear. Now when I look at my carboy with a flashlight on the other side, I can def still see stuff suspended in the beer and...

So I let my cider go a week in primary and racked off to secondary on tuesday. I'm getting little/no activity in my airlock and the taste leans towards the yeast side. I was thinking about adding some brown sugar into the mix to get the yeast going again. Any opinions on that?
