First time to the forums. Great information here and I'm really happy that this resource is out there. I'm going to start my first batch of hard cider soon and I'm looking to boost the ABV by just a bit from your normal everyday hard cider. I'm using five gallons of local pasteurized, preservative free cider and English cider yeast
1) How much sugar should I add to get it to that 7-9% ABV level instead of the 5-7% I would get by adding nothing?
2) Will this in the end make the cider more tart/too tart? I'll probably use brown sugar but can be persuaded to use another form of sweetner :cross:
Thanks for the help!
