I've got a B'day coming up and as I'm new to Hbing I thought it would be fun to brew up a ale for the boys and a cider for the ladies. However, the cider was expected to reach an a/c of about 3%. However, at the moment it's hovering around 7% and still going strong according to my hydromiter reading and the a/c equation provided on this site. I used a Black Rock Cider kit and did did everything as per the kits instructions (except that I boiled it down a little and added some about 300g of lactose as it's going to be 18/19/20 yeal old ladies drinking it and I figure they like their drinks a little sweet. Can you guys work out how this happened? I'm stumped.
Cheers,

edit: just figured I should have posted this in the "making beer" section. Sorry fella's. I've enjoyed a few Sparkling Ales tonight. Reckon I might go another.
