So I checked it todsy and it was 1.050. Sobit went down a little bit. Should I re pitch?

If I take a couple readings in the next few days and it's the same, then it's ready for carbonation even if it's not around 1.000? Lets say it stays at 1.055 when I check it for a few days straight. Its ready to bottle then correct?

Thanks for the advice. I racked it to secondary today (into a 2 gallon bucket with airock) Going to watch the bubbles. About bottling, the original gravity was either at 10% (1.080) or above. My guess is above. My hydrometer only goes to 10%. Before I racked I took a reading of it in the...

Awesome. Thanks for the replies. Good to hear everything is fine. For bottling I was thinking about getting just a few growlers instead of bottles and carbonating in into them since its a small batch and I drink alcohol in a glass most of the time. For carbonation/bottling you just put corn...

This is normal? On all the sites and research I've done, seems like everyone says it takes 3+ weeks to ferment and mine seems to be on the decline already. So after a few more days I should go to secondary for bottling or just go to secondary and let it sit for another week or 2 then siphon...

Hello This is my first cider and I just want to make sure it's going the way it's supposed to. The cider I made has 2 gallons of organic cider, organic cinnamon sticks, brown sugar and maple syrup. Pitched it with Safale S-04 yeast and has been fermenting for a week in a 66-71 degree room. I...

Thanks for the response. I will take your comments into consideration. Appreciate it.

I am a beginner at cider making. I have done a few brews of beer that turned out nicely. Now I have the cider kit from mr beer. I am not using the cider ingredients in the kit. I have my own ingredients. Basically using the 2 gallon fermenter and that's it. So I am making a 2 gallon brew...
