[Petruchio]

Yesterday I racked the cider into the secondary. OG was 1.074, it had gone down to right about 1.0 or a touch under. I tried a taste, no sweetness at all, pronounced alcohol taste, way less apple taste, and a wee bit of a bite.

When I racked it, it was still very very cloudy. So I added some pectic enzyme to clarify it and 2 cans of apple concentrate to boost the apple flavors.

Now to let it sit in the secondary for a few weeks and let the happiness develop.

Near the end to backend sweeten it a touch I am going to try a liquid Stevia extract I have on hand. It will not ferment and as a diabetic it does not affect my blood sugar readings. This stuff is very sweet, a little goes a long way.

Please let us know how adding the apple concentrate worked out! I added half a can when I racked my last cider to my secondary.
