So here's my situation I made a 2.5 gallon (in my Mr beer fermenter) with apple juice and sugar. Only thing is I forgot to divide the sugar in half as I usually made 5 gallons worth...and had a SG of 1.125ish
Used montrachet yeast (rehydrated In water) and it got down to around 1.030. I the used champagne yeast to try and get it lower ( along with nutrient and energizer) and in 2 weeks no change still at 1.030
Trying to figure out what to do next
Option 1 bottle it as normal with priming sugar and use a plastic soda bottle to check carbonation then pasteurize when it's ready if this is even possible
Option 2 kill yeast and make still cider
Option 3 transfer to new fermenter and add more yeast
Option 4 ???
Cider tastes pretty sweet right now but may be drinkable if I mix with something else
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
