So on Christmas Eve, I put 4 gallons of pasteurized but no additive apple cider into my 5gal carboy, and added 1 package of Safeale US 05. It has bubbled away since then. I took a sample today, and tried to get a reading. I couldn't find my new hydrometer, and the older one I have measures only proof and tralles. The test showed that my cider measures at 0 tralles and doesn't even register on the proof scale. I tasted it, and it does taste much drier than cider, almost like a reds apple ale, and very carbonated, but Im questioning whether theres any alcohol in it since it won't even register on the proof scale of my hydrometer. I know, Im a newbie, but any advice would be appreciated. Its been fermenting for 10 days, and I planned on leaving it in the primary for 3-4 weeks.
