Noob cider brewer here... Started a batch of cider 2 weeks ago. Took a few days to really start ferementing, but rapidly made a mess then rapidly settled out and really started clearing. I was advised to transfer off the lees after 2 weeks, so I racked today. I was a little suprised the FG was 1.006 (actually 1.010 but I'm pretty sure my hydrometer is .004 off). I was expecting sub 1.000. I know I have to condition the cider for about 8 weeks. Should I expect the FG to drop a couple more points or is it like beer and pretty much done?
