6-004 Update

I can hardly believe how quickly the hard ciders are progressing. Batch 6-003 is already clear enough to read through and I had to rack batch 6-004 today. I may have to do a third batch here soon!

As I already stated, I racked batch 6-004 (OG: 1.050; SG: 0.998; ABV: 6.9 %) today because it was done fermenting. In addition, I added 2 habañero peppers (quartered; seeds and pith removed) and 3 sticks of cinnamon (crushed) into the secondary. It is quite dry (SG: 0.998) and should finish crisp and spicy (I hope).

Wassail!
