I just started a new batch of cider and i'm about to pitch the yeast. i used a hydrometer for the first time.. It showed right on 1.070.. This means it should come out around 9 percent right? I'm using safale s-04 yeast. Will i be able to bottle carb after my secondary or should i add a little water to dumb down the sugar level a bit so it'll be more like 8% or something? it's just a 1 gallon batch.
