I bottled my brew buddy cider 7 days ago, but did it when the hydrometer was 1.002, and didn't do the 2 day consistency test to check it had finished fermenting as I had to go home.
I tried a bottle 2 days ago, and it is very fizzy. It doesn't explode out the bottle, but I go a lot of bubbles coming to the surface. Also, it wasted half the bottle as when I poured the sediment came along the bottle relatively quickly. I have done two batches previously and never had a problem.
I picked up a bottle now, 7 days bottled, and just picking it up I could see some sediment mingling into the cider.
Is it because I only left it 4 days in the bottle lol?
Will the sediment compact more?
Is it a common problem that when it is too fizzy, not enough to over flow, but bubbles vigorously mix the sediment with the brew?
Thanks
I hope I havent wasted a batch.. :hmm:
