Cider v5 - brew 9

22 litres aldi apple juice
6 x 700g aldi honey
Ec1118 yeast

Same as a previous cider, expecting 11.5% abv

Brewed 27/12/2013

This cider/mead turned out pretty tasty.
Sour strong and dry with a strong apple flavour.
2 weeks is probably the minimum time to brew for this drink.
It actually went below the nominal 0 SG.

calculated 5.2%

Tasted of sulfur, or vaguely of feet.

After a few weeks it was drinkable but still tasted weird.
This brew fermented waaay to fast, barely a week is not enough time.
