Hi again !
I juiced 40kg of apples (4 different kinds including green for "tartness"), added 1kg of brown sugar, and fermented them for 10 days. Then transfered it to secondary for another 10 days.
It is now ready to bottle. I read the technique of adding juice to sweeten it. Then bottle it,wait a couple of days for bubbles. And then heat sterilise to stop fermentation (bottle one in plastic and when it gets hard its ready).
Im just wondering, any juice you recommend? A good quality pure apple juice or any will do ?
Or maybe another juice like apple pear?
Abv is about 11%. Very strong cider !. But i want something smooth and sweet.
Thanks for the tips.
