Hi all,
As I'm debating how much sugar to add to my 2nd cider batch this year, (last year I added 4lb honey to 5gal of cider, OG was 1.051 FG was 1.002, 6.4% ) I'm wondering what the point is in adding sugar at all other than increasing the ABV? Has anyone tried not adding sugar in their cider? What was the outcome?
My goal for this year's cider is to have a better flavor, my last batch didn't seem to age well and has a harsh and bitter bite going down.
Many thanks
