So I bought one of those cider house select kits to make a 6 gallon batch. I used distilled water, an eyeballed 2lbs of dextrose (I made this at 3 am after work and couldn't find my scale), and followed the directions for the most part. I didn't boil the water to dissolve the corn sugar (it did so on its own) and the gravity to start was 1.040
The room that it's fermenting in is always super cold even when the house is warm. It's sitting at 62 degrees so I'm expecting a longer slow fermentation which if I remember right gives you a better cider flavor.
In a week or two when things level out, is it worth putting this into a secondary or should I just bottle it right away?
