Hey guys,
I recently bottled a batch of sweet cider and here’s what I found compared to my last batch.
So my first batch:
Yeast S-23 (has it laying around)
OG 1.048
FG 1.002
Took about 3 weeks
I backsweetened to 1.028
About 5 days later I pasteurized and put in the fridge. It was very tasty. A tad sweet but it had some tartness as well.
So I decided to do another batch
Yeast S-04
OG 1.048
FG 1.008
I backsweetened to 1.022
Tried one today before I pasteurize and it was very very sweet almost too sweet
Could the yeast cause this? I read reviews and s04 was a favorite for cider please help
