Good Evening Everyone
Been looking in the older posts and seem to be on with the cider. Hope I've done it ok.
I suppose just asking for some clarity as the fermentation seems to of been finished within 5 days.
I pressed apples and then racked it with wine yeast and nutrients, it went nuts for 2-3 days and slowly calmed to hardly anything today. Checked the SG and it's below 1 now, it was 1.045 when started.
Transferred to a new tank for 2nd stage, I was going to add some potassium sorbate, finnings and campden tablets within the next couple days. Then I'll back sweeten with applejuice, would anyone experienced say this is the way to go or any other method would be appreciated.
I've read of people using tea bags as well, would this be a good idea at this stage?
This is my first cider I've done so please go easy
thanks in advance
