One week in SG=1.024, which is 3.4%. Moved to bedroom at ambient, about 75 degrees. OG was 1.050. FG at 11 days was 1.006 (5.7%) - tasted great, albeit a bit yeasty and green and there was a faint hint of SO2. Couldn't really taste the alcohol. NOTE: 2 1/4 cups of white sugar = 1 lb., per Dominos sugar website.
F.G. measured at 1.000 so I bottled. Added 150 mg. Equal plus Splenda. Carbonated with 5 oz. Dextrose. Tastes pretty good, maybe a tad too sweet and a tad too much carbonation. Try 130 mg Equal and 4 oz. dextrose for carbonation. Cannot taste the alcohol and really gets you drunk fast at about (53*0.131=7% ABV)!
Next batch is Motts with Mangrove Jack's Dry Cider yeast (M02) fermented at room temp. Going to sweeten with xylitol and carbonate.
The next, next batch will be Motts with Cote Des Blancs yeast at a lower temperature - maybe 65.
