Hi everyone, I recently back-sweetened a blueberry cider with maple syrup. I added the potassium metabisulfite and potassium sorbate and after used my sweetener. Everything seemed fairly normal for a couple of days however about 5 days in I have had an overfill with cider coming out of my airlock. Is this refermentation? I have tried the cider and its still very sweet. If it is refermentation is it because the potassium sorbate was absorbed or blocked by all the blueberries and was unable to assimilate into the cider? Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Have a fantastic new year!
