Day 13 - Oct 13 - I pulled off a sample. The Specific Gravity is 1.015, making it about 14% ABV ((1.120 - 1.015) / 0.75). The nose is of minerals, faint cider, grapefruit, and clean effervescence. Its legs are quite visible. The taste is initially medium-sweet and showcases a fruit-punchy cider and then an alcohol warmth. Tartness and tannic structure are adequate. The finish is clean with a hint of cider memory. All in all I'm very satisfied. I will add no honey now but will stir in 1/8 tsp potassium metabisulfite to ward against infection and I'll rack it tomorrow.
