half assed first cider attempt

Some guy I know who makes good cider says to get in the 1.006-1.008 range IIRC.

I like to back sweeten to that range myself, and acidify with malic to a pretty good degree. Just personal preference.

Thanks all. I will need to see where the gravity is at and go from there. It tasted super dry when it was at 1.004 so I can’t imagine what it’s like below 1.000

This is still sitting in the fermenter. It was at 1.004 a few weeks ago. I have decided to backesweeten and keg it instead of having bottles of champagne.

What and how much should I use to backseeten?

my pound of honey to 3 gallons gets me in the 1.010 range, but I add very acidic fruits.
