I'm helping my son-in-law make a batch of cider (great experience, BTW). I've only done one batch before myself, several years ago.
I thought we had enough juice in the 6 gallon carboys to fill a 5 gallon with enough left to at least have a sip...
But no. One of them is about half way between the step down and the neck, and the other is only about 1/4 the way.
Is that ok, or should they be topped off? If topped off, with what? We do still have some of the unfermented juice in the fridge.
Yeast pitched last Saturday morning at about 1.052, racked this afternoon at 1.002 and 1.006.
TIA
