During the month of october, I started a cider. When racking to secondary for aging, I tasted my cider and it tasted like apple (good!) but watery (bad). I used low acidity freshly pressed apple juice. The juice wasn't for cider making but drinking. I think it was made with Mcintosh, cortland and spartan apple.
Anyway, I think that if I backsweeten the cider with honey (Costco?) or any plain tasting sugar it will improve the taste.
I do not wish to use sulfite or other chemical unless absolutly necessary.
Could I let all the yeast die (time) so that the ciber doesn't carb? The cider is around 7ABV last time I checked.
Or maybe if I use lactose or any unfermentable sugar could that do the trick?
Thanks
