So I just did my first batch of hard cider. And I just got done with secondary fermentation and something went wrong. The only thing I used was yeast nutrient and the cider. So after the first two weeks of fermentation I tasted it and it was decent. It was definitely fermented and it tasted decent. So I bottled it and hoped the flavor would get better. And after I bottled it I kept it in a dark cool cellar we have. So now after those two weeks in the cellar it taste flat with some flavor. So I have a couple questions. First is what did I do wrong? Is it the fact that I put it in a dark place and all the yeast was inactive or did I use up all the sugar and the yeast die? And I also started another batch using the same process and it’s been fermenting for 2 weeks now and I assume it’s gonna have the same problem. So my other question is if I add some yeast to this new batch will it mess it up or will it ferment properly?
