I have 3 gallon of cyser starting but bought 4.5 gallon of fresh pressed for extra. I also have an Ed Wort apfelwein kegged and recently put on tap, (I did use nottingham vs. chapange yeast but everything else the same. Musselman's "fresh press" brand juice used.) It was good as usual but I let it finish out and it was pretty dry. With the extra actual fresh pressed cider from my local orchard and a few pints already tapped from the keg I decided to back sweeten w/ half a gallon plus poured into the keg. I figured that with the frig/kegerator temps I didn't have to worry about a restart.
Wow! Best cider I have made or tasted and I have tried many, many commercials. I side by sided with some Longbrow I had in the fridge and it wins hands down IMHO. I will never use a concentrate again to back (as I have many times) if I can get my hands on some real stuff! The depth of the apple flavor exploded vs. the nice finish only I am used to. (best explanation I can give)
