Cider batch 2

By paul January 31, 2009

Batch #2 has fermented to about 0.999, so I racked it into a clean carboy and topped it off with about 1/2 gallon of Gizdich Ranch apple juice -- it was smart to buy four gallons instead of three while I was there! I finally got some batteries for my TDS tester, and the reading from the sample was 770 ppm. I'm not sure if TDS is going to be helpful or not, but it's easy to measure. What would really be great is a pH meter...

The cider tastes dry and much better than the first batch at the same point. It's hard to describe, but it seems like there is more apple character to it. Heather says that this batch, unaged and with no carbonation, already tastes better than the first batch, which is done, so that's a plus!
