So I have done a few hard apple ciders which came out well so I figured I'd give cranberry cider a go. Typically my apple cider is down in the 1.003 - to 1.006 range by day two of fermenting under pressure. Right now my spunding valve is showing the same amount of activity / pressure I expect for 48 hours but my SG is coming out at 1.039 only about 0.010 down from my OG of 1.048.
I am also using a Tilt device for my gravity readings which hasn't failed me in the past but who knows.... I pitched about 2/5 to 3/5 of a US-04 packet into a 1.5 gallon batch so that should be plenty of yeast.
