Found a great deal on Presidents Choice Apple Cider on Thursday night... 1/2 price - $2.50 a piece. They are 3 liter bottles, not filtered, no perservatives apple cider that only contain apples, spices and concentrated orange juice. I bought the last 5 they had. This equalled to just shy of 4 gallons. This is what I did Thursday night.
3.96 gallons Apple Cider
10 campden tablets - crushed
4 tsp acid blend
1 tsp pectin enzyme
2 tsp tannin
before i added the sugar the sg was at 1.056. Added 6 lbs of sugar that i dissolved on the stove in a little water. Starting SG was now 1.090.
I waited 24 hours (Friday night) to add the yeast - EC-1118 which i followed the directions on the back (2 oz warm water and yeast, wait 15 minutes and add to must). the yeast looked soft but not active at this time but I added it anyway. Left it sit. Saturday afternoon no activity but I realized I didn't add any yeast nutrient. So I added 2 tsps. Now it is Sunday morning and still no activity. I have a brew belt on and the temperature is at 75 degrees.
