G'day all,
I was hoping someone could give me a clue as to the off taste that is happening with my cyser.
Made on about 4 quarts of apply juice and a pound of honey.
Used Fermaid K and DAP and went to about 13-14%
Into secondary I also added:
juice of 3 lemons
1 ounce lemon rind
1/2 tsp ground ginger.
Back sweetened with 31/2 ounce of honey just before bottling.
I bottled in Nov 2018 and wanted to try it now to see how it is going.
It now has the after taste described above. This has happened to me once before when i made a dodgy cider using the same apple juice and added 1/10 ounce of tannin.
Can anyone provide any insight as to what may have caused it?
Thanks.
