Hi all,
Apologies for yet another newbie question. I've found websites and books contradicting each other and much prefer to ask experienced brewers their thoughts instead :)
I set my home brew cider fermenting 3 weeks ago. To 3.5 gallons of juice I added around 3.5 grams of cider yeast. I'm can't recall which website I got that from but it doesn't sound like it was enough. The Cider stopped bubbling around a week ago and tastes ok, but doesn't taste too alcoholic. I was going to bottle it this weekend and added campden tablets to my brew last night.
Would it be ok to add more yeast now or is it too late? Do i need to bottle and see how it turns out? I was going to bottle with some carbonation tablets, would that increase the strength?
I did take a hydrometer reading at the start, but I don't think i did it right.
Apologies for the barrage of questions, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
