Just got a call from Jason about the cider...
He's heading back to St. Louis and bringing the cider with him. In his own words, there is a "wretchedness" in the brew. Not a good sign. But, he says, it's better than it was before it was bottled. So, it's either the sugar or the time. Once I try a bit of this batch I will be able to tell with more certainty, but if it's time, then I will just let this batch lay aging for a few more weeks/months. If it's the sugar, I will add more next time. This time I added a very small amount, mostly as an afterthought to establish a baseline. We will see.
