I just started a Cyser as follows:
K1V cultured 24hrs @ 70deg
34oz Clover Honey
Unfiltered pasturized cider to 1 gal (some reserved for headroom makeup)
1 cinnamon stick.
I got a hydrometer reading of 1.098 corrected.
The canculator here say I should be getting SG 1.114/ Pot ABV 14.84 with the Honey alone.
When I add in .95 gal apples (no drop down for juice or cider) it gives SG 1.167/ Pot ABV 20.75.
I am needless to say, confused. That's a huge difference and I'm too ignorant of this stuff to figger it out.
Straighten me Naz, I'm ready.
