Hello!
So I’ve just started my first 5 liters of cider on the 1th of July.
I put in the yeast (ciderini dry from Browim) and went on a short holiday.
Because I went away I put the jug in the shed in the garden and I thought it would stay a bit cool in there…
Now I’m back and the shed was pretty warm… the water lock was filled with yeast sediment. I cleaned it out and did a measure with my hydrometer. It’s now 1002!
I’ve read that you should put it in secondary at about 1010… it’s still very active and I see a lot of bubbles coming out of the (now clean) waterlock.
What to do? Just wait until it’s stops bubbling and then move it? Will the taste be ruined by this way to fast fermentation?
Thanks in Advance!
