Alright, so I'm not sure if this would be more of a cider question or a question for this sub forum but I picked up a gallon of cider from target for an experiment. I have a few non essential questions that if I can get answers to, id be happy, but it's irrelevant at this point.
First the OG of the cider was 1.052 and I added half a gallon of 1.06 wort. I didn't take a hydro reading after I mixed them, what's the formula to get my OG?
Now for the important question.
I pitched some wyeast 1318 and cuvee rene dregs. I took a hydro sample last night and the gravity is down to 1.008. When I tasted it the flavor is great, like cuvee rene but it doesn't have that bitter grapefruit flavor on the back end. It is kinda watery in the mouthfeel though. Would adding fruit in secondary help or just add more flavor? I was thinking peaches, but if it won't help watery mouthfeel I'd rather just eat the peaches and enjoy my delicious, yet watery first attempt at a sour.
