So I have just finished my current batch of Cider here is the recipe I used.
1 gallon of apple juice
1/3 cup of brown sugar
1/3 cup of sugar
3 grams of nottingham dry ale yeast
It's really low alcohol content and I wanted to move my gravity up so I can get a higher alcohol content. But I really enjoy the flavor. The gravity I'm aiming for is 1.091 and a ABV content of 12%. I like dry Ciders so dry isn't an issue. What I'm wondering is if I change the recipe to
1 gallon of juice
3/4lb of brown sugar
3/4lb of sugar
3-4 grams of Lalvin EC-1118
Will it still be good and not be sour? Cause someone told me my recipe would be very sour. And should I use the Lalvin or continue using Nottingham? I'm a beginner and I don't have tons of money to experiment with that's why I'm asking. Any experience and tips are helpful especially concerning these two yeasts.
