On Sunday, April 25th, I racked the Cider off of some additional lees (sediment) that precipitated from the wine. The cider is as clear as a bell! I did notice a faint not-so-pleasant odor coming from the wine. Hope it did not spoil. I did not taste it this time, as I didn’t have time. I will taste again and likely sweeten prior to bottling. Can’t wait.

Indeed. Dry because all of the sugar used up by the yeast during ferment.

Would love more juice. Perhaps could try something different with it?

What about mixing in with a grape? Or try cutting in multiple fruits…?

Interesting comment about the sweetness…(or lack of it) and that’s after you had added a considerable amount of sugar in the first phase right?

Looking forward to testing it : )

I have more frozen cider if you want to try another batch…
