Brew No.51
Rate: 0/10
ABV: 6%
Guide attenuation: 95-100%
My attenuation: 100%
Achieved: OG: 1045 FG: 1000 ABV: 6%
Notes:
– Didnt back sweeten. 5 Tbs of Xylitol per 5L on bottling.
– Forgot to wait 24 hours before adding yeast.
– 3 lots of yeast.
– Month in primary bucket. 2 months secondary 2 demijohns
– Didn't see any bubbles or krausen. So pitched Mangrove Jacks Cider yeast a few days later as well. Still no bubbles. Assumed no oxygen, so shook cider in demijohns then poured back into bucket. However. I stupidly took a FG after that, just to see and it had achieved 1014 from 1044. Having now shaken the cider and added oxygen after FG, or close to it, I needed to kick start fermentation again to get rid of oxygen. So added 200g rock sugar diluted in another tub of juice. And added a second bag of Mangrove Jacks.
Do again: Disaster.
