Hey all,
I'm 2 days into my first brew at the moment, the basic recipe is 1.8 litres of fresh pressed apples, 1 cup of sugar and a general brewers yeast. Does this plan sound right? - let it sit in primary untill only tiny/practically no bubbles show and then let it sit in secondary for a week or two, then add 1.5grams of sugar to each 300-340ml bottle (for carbonation) and let still for a week or two in the fridge, then drink or age? sound like a plan? where are the flaws? Also with that much sugar and letting it sit until completely fermented, without a hydrometer what would you estimate the abv. to be at? also if its to dry for me, how much xylitol should i put into each 300-340ml bottle as a starting point?
Thanks,
