Ok so i've finished my first batch of cider. it's been going over a month and i need to bottle to empty that container.
the OG was 1.070
the FG was 1.000
It was sour (how i like it) by a little dryer than i prefer.
I am wanting to carbonate, sweeten, then pasteurize (like the title says)
I'm wondering if you pros can confirm my calculations and maybe give me any advice if you see the need.
Ok so i normally use 4oz (113g) of dextrose to carb my beer.
I would like to use apple juice concentrate to do it to give it an apple boost.
Each can of apple juice has 162g of sugar.
So if I added 1&1/2 cans I would have:
113g for carbonating
130g for sweetening
If I added 2 cans I would have:
113g for carbonating
211g for sweetening
I'm not exactly sure how much sweetness these would achieve but would you say either are something like woodchuck?
