A drinking glass of cider for sampling. It looks pretty tasty.
The sample came out nice. I would totally drink this. It's pale yellow, with some noticeable haze. There's a dry bite without being astringent and definite apple flavor.

A glass carboy full of cider. At the bottom is about 0.75" of spent yeast, dissolved solids, and other shit.
Last night's cool down seems to have done it! It's still super cloudy but look at all that sediment!
All that gunk down there can result in some off flavors in the final product. To help, I'm racking it into a clean container.

A glass carboy full of cider sitting outside on a brick patio. It's pretty dang dark.
Normally I'd use the basement beverage fridge, but it's actually pretty full now. Instead I'm going to naturally refrigerate it. The overnight temps are supposed to hit 40°F, which is a great start. Good night friend, let's see how you do.

Whelp. It's been a week and while there has been some sediment coming out the cider is still quite cloudy. I guess I should have actually chilled it first.
