Cider Dec19
Notes
We measured OG 3 times: 1) 1.059 2) 1.062 3) 1.054
We filled 3 carboys. They received either champagne yeast or wild yeast which was collected from a sweet cider bought at the Notting Hill farmers market.
Fermented at 55 degrees.
5 gallons fermented with champagne yeast received 1 oz of French medium+ oak cubes and approximately a pint glass of freshly pressed wine that was partly fermented.
Tasting Notes
The wild yeast fermented down to 1.06 fg. slightly acidic and funky during kegging.
The cider with oak and grape juice is dry but juicy. Not refreshing, flavor is a bit heavy but nice. Probably unlikely to repeat.
