Hey everyone,
I have a 6 gallon batch of apple juice cider going with Safale S-04, and have a few questions. The SG was about 1.054, and I just checked it after 7 days, and it is at 1.018. It is still going vigorously; I just wanted to see where I was. At this point, it tastes good, with the level of sweetness and flavor I was looking for (besides the massive amount of yeast still in suspension). Could I possibly cold crash this for several days, rack as needed, and it turn out OK? I have read about leaving the yeast in long enough to clean up byproducts and etc. Just curious if I should just let it ferment out completely then sweeten.
Thanks!
