FG was 1.000 making the abv = 6.8%. I used S-04 in one 2 gallon batch and Nottingham in another. They both plunged to 1.000. The S-04 still had apple flavors, so I added caramel to the secondary. The Nottingham was drier and less taste, so I added 2 sticks of crushed cinnamon and 6 crushed cloves to it's secondary. I will back sweeten each batch with 1/2 gallon of cider, then bottle.
