Initial sg reading was 1.055, so it did drop nicely, but i guess our mistake was too much headspace and errors in sterile handling at secondary. Thanks for all advice!

Hydrometer read 1.015 a week ago when we put it into secondary and exactly the same now. Tastes pretty good, a little tart and a bit of fizz. Hubby decided to add sulfite to kill all, and go with fresh yeast in a couple days. Hoping that will work...

Should we siphon off the cider, re-sterilize, and then add yeast, or just add yeast and hope it overcomes the infection?

This is my first go at brewing. Juiced a batch of green apples from my tree, yield about 3 gal. First fermentation went well, siphoned into 3 1gal jugs with airlock, added brown sugar but no additional yeast. A week later, no bubbles but instead have a white scum (see pix). Is this normal?
