adding yeast nutrient 1 week in?

[ellwilll]

this is my first brew and i didn't add any yeast nutrient to start. i'm 1 week into fermentation, is it ok to add nutrient now?

What was starting gravity and what is current gravity?

I'm wondering the same thing. Im at the 9 day mark and the starting OG was 1.074. Pulled a sample last night and it's 1.020. Still see a lot of movement in the must and airlock still going at 1 bubble every 1.5 seconds. Thanks for any input.

Shouldn't hurt to add a bit, if you smell any sulfur, (like rotten eggs), which comes from nitrogen deficiency, I would insist on adding some now. IME cider takes longer than beer to ferment out, sometimes 2-3weeks.

Shouldn't hurt but watch for an eruption when you add it. It will very likely shoot out the top.
