With my new found love of ciders, i tried making my first cider a week ago today. I made a small 1 gallon batch. Used 2 64 oz bottles of Aldi's apple juice, some added sugar to boost the abv and Safale WB-06 Dried Wheat Ale Yeast, 11.5g. May have not been the best yeast to use, but i had it laying around as i was going to make easy wheat beer from great fermentations. Mixed the juice and sugar, shook it, took a sample. It read 1.050. Then added almost all of that yeast. Which in hindsight may have been way to much, air locked and set it in my garage under the cabinets.
Took a sample today of it, bubbles in the air lock slowly. Maybe a minute apart or so. The sample from today reads 1.000. I tasted that sample. I know its has no carb to it so that was off to me. But it tasted tart and maybe a little filmy. Its not clear by no means though. Should I rack it to a second bottle? Throw it out or wait some more to see what it will do? Any tips or pointers anything will help this newbie. Thanks
