hey everyone
i started brewing my first cyser about a week ago. I used about 3kg of appels for 2.5 liters of juice and 3kg of honey for a total of 10 liter batch. i used some sulfite tablets to kill everything before adding any yeast.
i had a start SG of approx 1.115 and after a week of beeing in the fermentation bucket i allready got down to 1.030 this is what i normaly aim for cause i like the mead to be rather sweet. but this seems awfully fast, i now transfered it to a basket bottle to continu fermenting and cause its verry hazy.
i was just wondering if maybe i could just kill the yeast and be botteling or i should just leave it and go for backsweetening.
also another small quesstion on another batch of normal mead (honey, water and yeast ) i backsweetend it after aprox 3 months cause it stopped fermenting. after a week i botteled it. and after another week it started producing gas in the mead. did it start fermenting again? (no worrys about bottle bombs i use high grade chemical bottles to put everything in )
thanks for all the help
