Dear fellow brewers, I have been making cider for a couple of years. I press juice from my own apples. Ferment that with a cider yeast and bottle it with 7 gr/l sugar to get a fizzy cider. I usually mix all the different apples I have. But this year I made a small batch with Ingrid Marie apples.
This batch resulted in a very viscous (slimy) cider. It feels awkward but tastes good.
Anyone else experienced this?

Do you pasteurize? I once made a cider from medlars. Since you have to let them blet first, I steam-extracted and got all the pectins in there. It is tasty but mighty slimy and that does not make it enjoyable.
 
i was going to ask if you use pectinase?

i think you can still use it post ferment but dont recall

it may settle some over time and thin out .
