New problem: I just went into the garage and checked. I don't have enough bottles to bottle this stuff. I was going to bottle some as wine and some as carbonated cider. I can order more on Amazon but that will take days. And by that time the yeast will have eaten the FAJC i threw in. So what...

I just backsweetened. I did it last night and dumped it in a 5 gallon container. Do you think the leftover yeast has already eaten the sugar in one day? Can I still bottle today?

Then can I just leave it where it is? I have no more containers.

Yeah, the instructions say to backsweeten then pasturize as soon as I add the concentrate. Also, if the advice is to rack it, I have a 5 gallon container. Can I put 4 gallons into a 5 gallon container or will the remaining air not be good for it?

Ugh, now I feel super dejected. The instructions call for a can of frozen apple juice concentrate per gallon as a backsweetener. Would it be ok to add 2 per gallon you think?

I used this. It's what the beardy man told me to use. LOL

It’s weird. Now the other three have clouded back up!

Question. My cider has stopped bubbling. It's been about 10 days. 3 of them have cleared up nicely but the 4th (bottom left) is still cloudy. Same exact ingredients went into all. Is there a problem with it? Should it be tossed?

Been in the garage where it’s been in the 40s. Still not clear. What would you guys suggest?

So put it outside for day?

It has been a week now and the wine still hasn’t cleared after putting in the superkleer. Should I put in more? It has also completely stopped bubbling.

So this is what it looks like 5 days after adding Superkleer. I thought it should be almost crystal clear by now :(. On the plus side, my hard apple cider is looking like it’s time to bottle

So I added the superkleer 3 nights ago. About one hour into it I saw action (particles moving around) the. Then next day fermentation started again and now it’s still going. Is that normal? It wasn’t bubbling at all when I added the stuff.

Thanks for the heads up

Thank you!!! Just ordered superkleer on amazon. Gonna use it as soon as it arrives. Strawberry wine has not started fermenting again so I think it’s done. Gonna use the superkleer, let it sit, backsweeten, drop campden tabs, then wait a week and bottle.
