My wife and I are attempting a variation on Edwort&s Cider/Apfelwein design.
No additional sugar, using Lalvin D47 yeast, fermenting at 60* (low range of yeast).
Its been in primary in our ferm chamber (chest freezer with STC1000 controller) for 4.5 weeks.
I decided to take a sample and measure the gravity. We are at/about 1.002. I closed up the chamber.
Then I noticed the sample I had taken was giving off many bubbles. I drank the sample and it was positively carbonated... Perfectly.
Kind of unclear what to do here. Do I decarbonate it somehow and then prime and bottle? Do I bottle as it sits?
I don't even understand how its so perfectly carbonated in its primary. I have never had bottles carbonate this well, though I have had a few brews end up over carbonated (I wonder if they were carbonated like this and I didn't notice... And then I primed them).
