Hi
I followed the instructions shown here with the required quantities of various ingredients, and after 'Clarifying' (I use the term loosely as it didn't clarify) The resultant cider is so sweet as to be undrinkable. I have a hydrometer on the way from my friend in the UK so i can check the ABV ratings, but all of my first batch of 6 test brews are useless as they are so sweet.
Is there a way of reducing the sugar content in these brews or are they non-redeemable?
I very much want this to work, and will give it another go with less added sugar this time if necessary.
