More research needed

[Will_D]

As a birthday prezzie someone (?) gave me 5 or 6 craft Irish ciders.

Two I have already set to culture the yeasts as they were bottle conditioned.

However, i am just drinking a well known, dry cider with no yeast at the bottom.

First taste was lovely, good boddy, great apple flavours and medium sweet!

WTF?

This is a dry cider according o th elable. Checked the FG and its 1.030 or so ! More WTFs now fly!

Its ABV is declared at 5.5%, so what was the OG?

Maybe about 1.075.

Now the sweetest apple I have ever checked was less than 1.060

Most balanced musts are great if they are 1.050

So, no names, no pack drill but as the thread says more cider drinking/numerical research is required.

Roll on next week for the biggest GB since we started GBs

Out of curiosity... Would the cider being carbonated have affected the FG reading?!  Maybe there's a typo somewhere on the label 😂

No it was a commercial error in formulation that was confirmed by the manufacturer that's life shot happens from time to time I suppose
