Hey All,
6 days ago I started a 5 gallon batch of cider with Motts apple juice, 2lbs of dextrose and Nottingham yeast and a couple tsp of yeast nutrients.
I had a SG of 1.060. After not seeing any airlock activity for a couple days I busted out my hydrometer and pulled a reading of 1.005.
I was anticipating 2 - 3 weeks so this has my kind of concerned. Has anyone had this happen to them? My TG was 1.010 - 1.005 so I'm considering backsweetening depending on what others have experienced.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
