I did it this morning. I added sorbate (1 Tbsp ... instructions said 1/2 tsp per gallon, so I went ahead and rounded up to 1 Tbsp.) Also dissolved another campden tablet in the warming cider. Took almost 60 Oz of honey to backsweeten to the point I was happy.

Already added FCAJ. Two cans after fermentation completed. Also added Sorbate Edit: K-Meta, not sorbate

So I recently kegged some spiced cider. Poured myself a glass to taste last night and decided it needed some backsweetening. I have some diluted honey (it was crystallized and I tried to heat it in a water bath, but apparently caused a small leak and the honey.mixed with water.) Anyway, since...

Yeah...not sure

Not sure how to read it. 1.12?

Update - I think it's done. It smells pretty good. I'm going to leave it for awhile. Here's a picture of it.

Update: started tonight. Had to add approx 2/3 of another bottle of juice. Unfortunately the store was out of V8 Splash, so I bought a small bottle of pomegranate juice. OG is approx 1.045. Using Kolsch ale yeast

Haven't started yet

I made my first ever 5 gallon batch a few years ago with store bought cider. As I recall I used both sugar and apple juice concentrate. Fast forward a couple years and I gave my sister a bottle and she raved, saying it tasted a bit like chablis. I finally drank the last bottle a week or so...

Probably a good idea. Purge, refill and wait till the bubbling stops, them put it back in the fridge for another 6-8 hours, minimum

Yeah. I'd leave it hooked to the liquid port overnight, and then purge and refill.

Do you have your CO2 plugged into the liquid port? That adds to the surface area exposed to the gas when it bubbles through your cider/beer

So the "set and forget" method of carbonating takes awhile. Simply putting it on higher pressure won't cause it to carb faster. IF you are trying to carb it fast, try putting the gas on the output line and bubble it through the brew. You should bubble gas through your beverage until it stops...

Well, it should be interesting, if nothing else. 😂😂😂

I could. I mean it's barely a half gallon. How much would you suggest? I do have 5# of honey. I could add some of that

Here's the ingredients and nutritional information

Finally got back to the store. It's pomegranate blueberry. 46 Oz per bottle. Guess I'll pick up a coue bottles and give 'em a try

That's a BIG brew. Guessing you put it into two kegs?

Hmmm. I don't know why it wouldn't work. That being said, I didn't even know that was thing.

BTW. Just checked and the alcohol tolerance with S-23 is supposed to only go up to 9-11% that's a but lower than where my cyser should end up
