This would mean only about 60% attenuation. Maybe this is right? I used safbrew wb-06, which is a dry wheat bear yeast, but not a true wit beer yeast, but the sample I took before bottling, tasted delicious. So ... a small beer great for summer. (I hope.) It also left a nice ring of crud around the fermenter, orange peel I think and I used red caps and they look sweet.

14 months to freedom, or Apple Cider Revealed.
My first 5 gallon yeast experiment has come to fruition.
Recap:
- 5 gallons of Tipton grove natural juice (not from concentrate)
- Pitched yeast: Lalvin 71B - 1122 (x2) on 04/10/08
- Added yeast nutrient (2.5 tsp) on 04/12/08
- Racked the cider into secondary on 4/29/08 (~62F)
- Bottled 5/29/09 with one can AJ concentrate and one packet of Red Star Cote des Blancs
- Bottled Conditioned for about 3 weeks
- Taste: crisp and quite dry.
