Secondary fermentation for more than 6 months

[kevcruse96]

I started secondary fermentation for 2 gallons of cider (just transferred to two cleaned, sterilized gallon jugs) after around 3.5 weeks of primary fermentation. They have been sitting in secondary fermentation for around 7 months now… I like funkiness and had heard that aging for longer will help some of those flavors develop. Will the product still be viable if I bottle now, though? Most advice I see says you can secondary ferment for as long as 2 months, but I haven’t seen whether there is an upper limit to this step before things turn bad.

If it smells good, taste it. If it tastes good, bottle it.
