I have made my first batch of cider. 2 gals in Mr. Beer LBK. Used non preservative apple juice. Added a bit of brown sugar to bring OG to 1.06 after fermentation FG is at 1.000 or maybe even 0.9. Very dry. The question I have is the cider is quite clear. I had planned to cold crash and then add gelatine to clear then back sweeten with erythritol and bottle condition using corn sugar at a mwssured amount. However, it looks so clear, is it necessary to cold crash and add gelatine? It's my first batch I wonder if I should just bottle and then see how it turns out. Then I can decide to process more with future batches if needed.
Thoughts are appreciated.
 
Thanks for your info. I was surprised to see it as clear as it. I think I will let it sit foe a few more days and if it still looks good I will go ahead and bottle.
