  • I don't know of any way to do that. You could probably pasteurize it (heat to 180 degrees Fahrenheit), but you would loose alcohol content. Why would you want to stop fermentation? .

  • unclefilthybill, if it's still bubbling then it's still fermenting. Yeast is still turning sugar into alcohol. Fuji apples are very sweet to begin with. Plus you added a pound of sugar, so you're going to top out at whatever alcohol content whatever yeast you used can tolerate. The fermentation stops whenever alcohol content gets high enough to kill the yeast or the yeast runs out of sugar. Just don't bottle it before fermentation stops cause otherwise you'll have shit blowing up...trust me

    Star San Sanitizer is the best on the market. No Rinse, food grade and a little goes a long way. Like 2 tablespoons per 5 gallons...

  • @conduct623

    usually $1 or less at any brew store

  • @BicycleLee I would. to a secondary, maybe even a tertiary. You could even add coagulants to make the yeast settle to the bottom. (i think its called Irish Moss) My first and only cider came out great! crystal clear and about 10% ABV. I kegged mine and it just getting crisper and tastier the longer it was in my kegerator. I used a strong champagne yeast that I picked up a local brew-your-own store.

  • @conduct623 Why? What's wrong with the one he made?

  • @Perilous3D That's a good one:)

  • pick yourself up a hydrometer, and a food grade fermenting bucket. also do not use bleach unless thoroughly rinced!

  • so what happens next? Do you rack it? does everything settle out?

  • nice Vape!
