Just added 1 cup of water with 1 cup DME melted it and put it in 1 gallon of cider.....issue is I decided to add 1 pound of honey too....Well once all was mixed in an instant head formed. Even in my hydrometer flask I have a 1/8 inch head....Problem is I can't get an accurate reading with all that head...I used safale s04 this time around....about 1/3 teaspoon. Now in in the hydrometer test tube with a 1/8 of head im getting a reading of 1074 if this ferments dry then that 10% the limit of safale S-04.....So if thats the limit then how do I bottle condition? I do plan on racking to a secondary so if its for real 10% abc then should I pitch a tiny amount of champagne yeast to the secondary?
