- Cider not as clear as batch one. Part of that could have been two fold.
- This cider wasn’t racked to secondary fermentation rather racked directly to bottling.
- This cider was created using a pumpkin spiced cider blend.
- Slightly more sweetness but still very dry. Allowing the bottled cider to sit at room temp for a week was essential to carbonation development
