Hello all,
My recipe for my first cider is as follows:
5 gal pasteurized, non preserved cider
3 3/4 cup light brown sugar
WLP775 Cider yeast
Pectic enzyme and some yeast energizer
I put all that in a 5 gal carboy so there is very little headspace, but put a blowoff on. Plan to wait about 3-4 weeks and not use a secondary and plan on kegging.
Question is, how should I back sweeten in the keg? I will at potassium sorbate to stop re fermentation, but how can I stop from having a dry cider?
I do have some liquid apple flavoring used for beer as well as an extra gallon of cider in the fridge. Help appreciated! thanks!
