Process:
1. 2 Gallon store bought pasteurized, no preservatives 100% apple juice.
Brix reading 12
2. DAP 1tsp
3. 1/2 pkt Mangrove M02
4. Basement stays at 60-65F
5. Sanitized everything.
Started bubbling after a day, fermentation stopped like in 5 days. Final Brix reading 5 hasn't changed.
After 1 month in primary, I could taste and smell yeast. It was dry and crystal clear.
Now it's sitting in secondary for over a month, the taste has improved but I can still taste yeast. No other off flavors.
1. Do all homebrew ciders have a hint of yeast flavor?
2. Many seem to get "great" ciders within a month, how do they get rid of yeast flavors?
3. Or am I just too sensitive to yeast flavor?
Both my primary and secondary fermentation bucket have faucet. I transferred to secondary without disturbing the yeast cake. Drank 1/2 cup of cider from secondary after a month, there is noticable yeast flavor especially when I burped.
I am brewing for Christmas, do I have enough time(2 more months) to get this flavor off and bottle condition?
