I added 7 oz. of brown sugar to my gallon of fresh cider and pitched the D47. It was happily bubbling away within 3 hours of pitching and still going strong this morning. I also added a few raisins and a couple cinnamon sticks to this batch we'll see how it turns out.
I opened a couple bottles of last year's cider, added a splash of fresh cider to the glasses and thoroughly enjoyed them yesterday afternoon.
