Good p.m. I am using "Super Yeast X-Press". I am trying to make apple cider with a relatively high alcohol level. I started off with 5.5 gallons of apple cider and added 12 lbs. of sugar which produced a starting specific gravity of 1.250. I also added some Go-Firm yeast nutrient and the mixture is kept in a box that is controlled to 75 degrees F. The mixture is opened and stirred every
other day. At the 6 day mark the fermentation is active, but somewhat slow, as determined by the frequency of bubbles coming out of the air-lock. The specific gravity is only down to 1.200. This fermentation appears to be very slow, especially considering the info on the Super Yeast X-Press package. Does anyone have experience with this yeast? Thanks.
