Did you take a final gravity reading? How does the addition of corn syrup affect the reading? My fermentation is stuck at 1.020 after 3 weeks with no change in gravity when read at week 2 and 3.

Ok. I can try that. If the yeast is done can I add more 2 start fermentation Again. Then try bottling once final gravity is 1.000

If it is stalled or deprived can I get fermentation going again by adding more yeast and nutrient?

Hi thanks for the reply. I just sampled another bottle and it is 100% better. I don’t know if the improvement was due to an extra 2 weeks conditioning in the bottle or if the first bottle had some contamination. If the others are like the one I just finished off I will be very pleased.

I fermented to 1.000 (although I did not adjust for temperature, guessing it would have been about 65 degrees) and bottled. I used 3 Tbs. of honey that I thinned in 1/2 cup of hot water that I boiled then let cool. I used bottled drinking water. The resulting cider is lightly carbed. One gallon...

How much yeast did you add?
