Juiced several different apple varieties and about three pounds of pears and got just shy of two gallons of juice. Added one cup of brown sugar and champagne yeast and set to ferment.
I totally forgot to check gravity before pitching the yeast. It hasn't made a bubble in several days (it has been about 14 days) so I was going to filter all the sediment and rack it into a new carboy, which I did.
I took a sample and got a reading of 1.000.. which, unless I am confused, means that somehow I have produced non-alcoholic cider that tastes EXACTLY like white wine. . .
So can someone explain what I did wrong and why I got this reading?
Also I have another batch going that had a reading of 1.090 before I started fermenting. Any idea of how this will come out % wise?
