Hello everyone!
First time cider maker here with a quick question.
For my first ever batch, to keep it simple and get a feel for the process, I used a store bought apple juice) method.
To a gallon of juice (no preservatives) I added 1 1/2 cups white sugar and one package of EC-1118.
I made this batch on March 31st with the plan that it would ferment for a month, then I would rack it and try to let it age for a month with the full expectation that I wouldn't be able to wait that long to try it
Here is my question:
13 days in, the cider has clarified and there appears to be very little fermentation going on. The bubbler didn't bubble anymore, and there is only a tiny abount of CO2 bubbles that can be seen rising up the bottle.
Is it done? Ready to rack?
Thanks for any input!
