Hello guys,

My first TC batch has just been transferred over to my secondary. Going to leave it a while to settle. The hydrometer showed the same reading 3 days in a row and no activity. It tastes a bit vinegary. Not overwhelming - I'm not a big fan of the flat cloudy ciders, so I don't really know what they should taste like. It smells, looks and tastes similar to a bottle of Westons scrumpy I have('nt got round to drinking yet) though. Just a question if I may...?

Some people seem to use Splenda tablets for sweetening. I've got some granulated cheapo Tesco stuff in the cupboard. Anyone have any recommendations on how much to use per gallon to get a sweet cider?


Thanks again for your help!
 
If it tastes like weston's scrumpy, I say congrats :tongue:
the best answer I can think of for the sweetening is to taste and see, experiment till you find what you like
