I know sunlight can affect the hops and cause problems with beers, which got me to thinking, will sunlight harm a cider that is in secondary in a clear container? If so, what would it do?
Ya I wonder the same thing. I wrap a towel around the carboy if it's in direct sunlight just to be safe. I wouldn't worry about it if it is not in direct. I went to a wine making store once and they had dozens of wines in carboys that were fully exposed to the light so it's probably not a big deal. Though since beer is supposed to be kept out of light, I play it safe with a towel.I know sunlight can affect the hops and cause problems with beers, which got me to thinking, will sunlight harm a cider that is in secondary in a clear container?
