hey all,
I have been going back and forth about how I want to finish my cider, and I have decided I want a still sweet cider.
So here is the deal, I took some apple juice and sugar and made a basic version (my first try). i added yeast nutrient, yeast energizer and some lalvin D47, and it took off. I started with a OG of 1.070. About a week later checked again and i checked again and the FG was 0.998.
So i want to sweeten it, and need some help from the experts.
My plan is this:
I was planning on degassing, to get some of the "co2" flavor/smell out. and then add some potassium sorbate, and some campden tablets and let it sit for a day. After it has been stabalized i want to add some apple concentrate and some sugar to sweeten to taste. After sweetening i was gonna bottle it and throw it in the fridge right away. Does this sound right? Will i have bottle bombs? and is this the best wayh to ensure a still cider? phelp is appreciated. thanks
