I bottled my cider in May and now about 2 months after bottling I am starting to drink it ..... The flavour isn't bad, just a tad yeasty... (vastly better than my previous efforts). I am wondering tho if I can decant all my brew back into my brew barrels add some more sugar and let them have another go at itself, thereby hoepfully getting rid of the yeasty flavour.
I've got 25ltrs brewing which I was going to put thru the still but my SPG was pretty low (1.03). I'd had an equipment failure with the still - started leaking as I was filling it. Because it was all agitated from being tipped back into the barrell I decided I would add another kg of sugar to it and it has happily kicked itself back into life. I am waiting for it to calm down again before putting it thru my new and hopefully leak free still.
Has anyone tried re-starting a cider brew after bottling?? Would appreciate some advice.
