Hey everyone!
Haven't posted on the forums in awhile, but I recently made a cider that I hated, and decided to give it another try. Here's what I did.
I bought 6 gallons of unpasteurized cider from a local farm.
I made a starter with some D-47.
A day after my starter was bubbling away, I poured 5 gallons of the cider into my primary the SG was 1.052, so I mixed in enough Dextrose to bring it to 1.090 exactly, and popped in 5 campden tablets, two days later (4/18/2013) I pitched my starter, along with 2 tbsp energizer and 2 tbsp nutrient, mixed, and put the airlock on.
I am planning on bottle carbing later.
Any problems I should be concerned about?
P.S. I cleaned and sanitized as necessary.
