Well, racked the cider off to secondary. Ended up at .998 FG (6.4% ABV). Dry hopped with 3 ounces of Cascade.

Took a little sample of it with a wine thief. Good flavor, dry as I wanted it, but still has too much yeast in solution. (Trouble is with Cotês des Blancs yeast is that it has low flocculation). Hopefully more will drop during secondary; if not, I'll fine it with some gelatin when I keg and cold condition.

Do you use Lavin yeasts? EC-1118 works for cider. As for your secondary, have you tried chitosan and kiesosol to accelerate the fining? Two to three weeks tops.
