So I started a cyser on Monday, as follows:
5 Gallons
20 lbs Pure & Simple Honey
Red Star Cote des Blancs, 2 packs
1/2 tsp nutrient
1/4 tsp energizer
No Boil
3 cinnamon sticks
1 tsp dried orange peel
6 whole cloves
13 qts Apple Juice (no preservatives, Vitamin C added)
Hydrometer reading 1.16
Temp is around 73 F.
As of yesterday, no action in the airlock. I stirred it like crazy last night and still nothing today. I'm debating adding nutrient or energizer (seems like it should have enough stuff to eat, though) or adding another pack of yeast.
Thoughts?
