I used 1/2 tsp pectic enzyme and 1 tsp yeast nutrient
Is it too late to add the pectic enzyme? I'm unfamiliar with it and didn't realize it was supposed to go in before the yeast addition....according to what I've read after a quick google search.I used 1/2 tsp pectic enzyme and 1 tsp yeast nutrient
Just one gallon in the freezer to do some freeze concentrating and I'vegot 2.5 gallons about 2 weeks into fermentation. Smells delicious and the little sample I took of the 1 gallon was awesome.

I dont know anyone else had this problem my cider wont stop fermenting. I put the sorbate acid to kill the yest in a 1 gallon batch it worked but when I tried to clear it up by using quick liquor super-kleer k.c after letting it sit for about an 1.5 hours it started fermenting again. I do have a video of it but my phone let me upload it for some reaso. But does anyone have an idea to kill off the fermentation. I put in my fridge which it seems like it stopped or did it just suspend it till it getts warmer.
I added potassium sorbate, a campden tablet and pectic enzyme. It still pops the corks off the whiskey bottles I have it in. Your best bet is to pasteurize it.
I was meaning the actual preservatives like potassium benzoate or potassium sorbate, not pasteurized like I mentioned. I would assume you have to use preservative free cider, but I hadn't seen that mentioned.

Set up a gallon of this. Used 1 galon of organic juice that came in it's own glass carboy. I removed 4 cups of juice, added 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1lb clover honey, 1 clove, 1 cin stick, yeast nutrient, yeast energizer and 1tsp ec-1118. This thing is fermenting strong and smells great.
Racked tonight and took a small sample. I think the ec-1118 was just too aggressive. I don't taste honey, cinnamon or clove. In fact, it hardly even tastes like apple juice. I may stabilize and backsweeten with a mixture of apple juice concentrate and honey and just let it bulk age to see if the flavors change.
