Hi guys.
Put a pear cider down for SWMBO About 10 days ago and saw very little in the way of 'action'. Never had a single bubble but I know it has fermented as it's sitting at 1005 and was 1030 after a couple of days (forgot og reading).
When I took the last reading it was cloudy and had lumps floating in it. Also the rhino farts smell is still apparent though it has abated quite a bit. My question is should I cold crash now or when the smell has completely gone? Also, if I bottle this weekend and it still has a bit of a smell will it go away in the bottle?
This is my first cider and not sure how it should be going or what I should be doing.
Cheers.
