It came out really good and I didn't do anything special with this batch except I bought a gal bottle of juice and added frozen apple concentrate to it to raise the SG. Fermented dry at 9.3%. It will be 3 months old by Thanksgiving. Its is the best cider I've made so far. My thought is the frozen apple concentrate adds concentrated apple flavor to the juice. Just add enough frozen concentrate to reach your desired SG.

@matteopassuello1220 Жыл бұрын
It seems like a really nice recipe. I was wondering, this cyser is in the ABV range of a (strong) beer, have you ever thought about avoiding the backsweetening process by adding some malt extract (unhopped, obviously) in primary, or even by mashing some grains? I used dry malt extract once for a mandarin orange and rosemary hydromel which turned out lovely! I think it may be interesting because malt gives its own “different kind of sweeten” because it has its own character, although it might be difficult to calibrate the right quantity because if you add it in primary you can’t do bench trials. Anyway, I really like your channel, it’s always a good source for inspiration! Cheers to homebrewing mead and drinking good from Italy!

Interesting! I've only had that issue when my stabilizers were bad. You can let it finish fermenting, rack it into a new container and try stabilizing again. You can add some apple juice concentrate when your back sweetening to help with the apple flavor. Backsweeten with honey!

@@ManMadeMead Thanks! I think the issue was I just didn't add enough of the metabisulfite. LD Carlson package says 1/4tsp per 6 gallon; so I used less than 1/4tsp for my 4 gallons. Saw you mention in another comment that it should be about 1/8tsp per gallon, which works out to 1/2tsp for 4 gallons (if my math is right). In which case, I definitely didn't use enough. Used 1/2tsp of the potassium per gallon, as per LD Carlson package.

Question …. I am bottle carbonating .. do I add erithritol in the bucket for 3 weeks before I bottle or add erithritol then immediately bottle ?

You can add the erythritol and bottle whenever you want! It won’t be fermented on
