I stopped by the local orchard & picked up 6 gallons of apple cider.
Batch 1
6 gallon cider
10 cups sugar
tannin
nutrient
acid
11 cinnimon sticks
lalvin d47
Batch 2
24 cans of grape juice concentrate. a mix of welches, kroger & seneca
the kroger & seneca had a lighter colored sediment in the bottom of the cans. Any idea what it is? the welches did not have the lighter colored "stuff" in the bottom. it was dark & clear.
Interesting that 24 cans of concentrate & filling the bucket up to the 6 gallon mark = SG of 1.100
Pectic enzyme
nutrient
NO acid. Tested around .7
6 campden crushed
will use lalvin 1122 tomorrow.
This batch will be flavor packed later with 6 cans of concentrate b4 bottling.
Fun day!!
