My cider is too sweet but the fermentation is complete....

[spitfire44]

I want dry cider, but for my taste it's too sweet and the fermentation is done. I think the yeast has reached its alcohol tolerance, so is there anything I can do to dry it out?

Let me know if you need any further details on this batch so I can fix it.

Thanks,

Eric

Did you try raising the temp or rousing the yeast? If those fail you could always try Champagne yeast.

What's your OG, FG, and yeast you used? If you dont have a hydro, how much sugar did you add in? Unless you added enough sugar that fermenting dry would exceed 12-15% ABV, it's not likely a fault in the yeast if you used fresh yeast.
