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.
