2nd hard cider

[Sequoiacider]

This isn't beer, it's cider, which is more like a sparkling wine. And I think the bad taste is yeast. I'll try another yeast and see how it goes.

Really? You are talking about cider? In the cider forum? What a shocker. Good thing you pointed that out, or we wouldn't have realized it.

Seriously though, the problem isn't the yeast. I've seen many ciders using Nottingham turn out great. I think part of your problem was your addition of cinnamon, and raisins. If cinnamon is used, it should be added in secondary or at serving. Raisins are a beer brewing trick, not for cider.

Not a guarantee, but let it sit a few weeks and seewhat settles out. I'd put my bet on suspended yeast.

Its sounding a little broken record, but time heals all brews.

Give it time, as with most biological hobbies (aquariums, gardening, beekeeping), only bad things happen quickly.

If it's the yeast the bad taste will fade. If it's not the yeast, you made a mistake somewhere in your protocol

You brought up beer so don't get your panties in a bunch.

I brought up beer in a statement where I was taking about carbonating your cider and I used examples of other carbonated beverages. Was that really hard to grasp?

No it was easy to grasp, but the bad flavor isn't absence of carbonation. I might be new at this but I recognize the difference between fermented fruit juice and beer, and people drink flat fermented fruit juice all the time.

Yah; they're in jail, lol.

I agree, this thread sucks.
