Hello,
I'm set to make 55 gallons of cider this week. I'm looking to back sweeten the cider (this is my first time back sweetenting) when fermentation is complete with 3 gallons of concentrated Apple juice. I am aiming for a 6.9 ABV. If I cold crash the yeast when the cider is at my desired 6.9, will the back sweetenting affect the ABV? When do I take the FG reading? Before or after back sweetenting?
