Have 5 gal. of cider in a carboy. Started in Jan with frozen concentrate, 5 pounds of sugar and WLP 775. Didn't get a starting gravity. It was going good god a while, racked and added 48 ounces of craisins. It sat like that till the basement hit 60 degrees then started bubbling again. A couple months later and you can still see the bubbles rising. SG now 1.015. I was gonna let it go until dry but it doesn't seem to be slowing down. Do I need to wait for 1.000? Tastes pretty good now but I need fizz.
 
HOLY CRAP, 5lbs of sugar, at 1.015 its probably pretty potent as it is, you should be fine to bottle it, make sure you pasteurize after you bottle though
 
I would guess your OG to be about 1.100 (depending on if you mixed your concentrate to appropriate levels). 1.100 to 1.015 is about 11.18%. Yeast is rated for 8-12%. I'd bottle now and then pasteurize.

What do you mean by pasteurize???
