Yeah I enjoy the sparkle right now, but if it will taste better once it clears then I'll leave it be for now. I have a bottle that a distant family member made, I did notice it's pretty clear, I'll aim for that.

Nope, I tried not adding anything extra so my first batch would be pretty simple. then add stuff to future batches if I want to refine the recipe. :) If it's no longer producing gas, or very little would I have to worry about the bottle exploding? Do you recommend I use pectic enzyme to...

Thank you:) I do have hydrometer that came with my kit, is there a set number that shows where it should be at before bottling?
