Hey there,
Just trying out a taste of my Apricot Cider, and I noticed a faint vinegary finish. I did add begonias (tuberous) into the primary to ramp up the tartness, so it could just be that. I didn't have/test the pH at the start of fermentation, but it's sitting at 3.54, so nothing too unusual.
My question, I guess, is will the pH continue to drop if my cider's been infected? And what kind of rate could I expect? I figure I'll test again in a month. Mind you, these have been in bottles for about two months and had no suspect signs before going in.
Thanks!
