Got brew #2 underway at the moment, a Black Rock cider made up with 200g of sugar, with the intent of making it v low alchol (ie something for other people to drink).
It's been in the fermenter since Sat arvo, frothing away nicely. Then I read here and elsewhere about this being a very dry cider, and to add 150g lactose to sweeten it
Given that it's probably finished primary fermentation (haven't measured SG yet), is there anything I can do at this point to sweeten it. I don't have a second fermenter that I could rack it off for secondary fermentation. Or do I just enjoy a dry cider and make the next one up with lactose?
Just a guess - try adding the lactose now. Lactose doesn't ferment so theoretically should not make any difference when it is added. Because this sounds logical does not mean it will work.....
