2.5 gallons Aldi apple juice
Premier Blanc
2 walmart frozen apple juice concentrate for sweetening.
So I fermented it out and sort of forgot about in my fermentation chamber for a few months in the primary.
Tasted good but dry so I just racked it into my keg and added 2 cans of frozen apple juice concentrate. tasted awesome.
Sealed it up, purged it and stuck it on some CO2 in my then upper 50's/low 60's degree basement.
A week later I realized I forgot to add campden tabs and sorbate.
gave it a taste and it wasn't that sweet anymore and kind of bitter.
added campden and sorbate, waited a day then added another can of frozen.
It's a week later and it's sweet but still has some bitterness.
I assume I basically have to treat it like a new cider since adding the frozen concentrate caused it to start fermenting again?
Or did I do something bad?
Thanks.
