Anybody help please? Complete newb sorry. My cider looks flat and I forgot to take a start SG the SG after four days is 20 is it fermenting? I add couple grains of sugar to test and it fizzed like mad is this good or bad?
If its fizzing when you add sugar it sounds like its fermenting. Is this a kit ? Have you got it in a bucket with a air lock ? I use air bubbling through the airlock to tell me if it fermenting or not .
It was in a fermenting tub from a kit then I have transferred to a barrel with a tap and sealed lid but no where for airlock also when open sealed lid on barrel it hisses
That's an sg of 1.020 after 4 days? Sounds like you're on the right track. I'd leave it alone and check again in a few days. If you have a sealed lid you might need to release the pressure periodically.

% is calculated by taking the difference between the OG and the FG. (Original and Final Gravities) Since there was no OG calculation, then we will not be able to figure out the % ABV.
