So I started a cider recently but decided I would do it with honey as well. I took a gravity reading and thought it was low at 1.07 considering I'm aiming for at least 13% ABV so I added two cups of brown sugar to try to raise it (no hate please I'm new to this). I then realised that I didn't bring my sample to the correct temp before testing with my hydrometer. I planned on going to get a kitchen thermometer after work today so I can get it to temp and when I got home my gf told me she had literally JUST spilled the sample I had sitting in the fridge. CAN I STILL TAKE A GRAVITY READING? It has been approximately 22 hours since pitching yeast and the recipe is as follows:
512fl/oz Pure unfiltered Appel juice
2 cups brown sugar
1 quart clover honey
Lallemand Nottingham Al Yeast (saccharomyces cerevisiae) 11g
P.s. I'm aiming for a semisweet and even if I ferment dry I plan on back sweetening if needed. Any help would be appreciated SO MUCH.
