Hi there,
About 10 days I juiced 3 gallons worth of apples, added 3/4 of a cup of brown sugar, put it in a 3 gallon carboy, added a pack of champagne yeast and sealed with an airlock.
I had guests so I stored it away out of site for the last week, and checked on it now.
It had been bubbling until I put it away, and as it seems as if it really either slowed down or stopped I figured I would taste it.
It has the hard/sourish taste of a very cheap wine. There is a hint of apple, its very bitter and I cant tell if its just still in the works, or if its gone bad.
Any suggestions as to how I can tell if I keep it going or if I need to start again?
Thanks!
