Subject: Cider with ale yeast 

 

I recently made a batch of cider loosely following Jay's recipe  
for draft cider.  I just added one cup of dried malt extract to 
a gallon of Tree-top apple juice and added some Red-star ale yeast. 
the initial SG was 1.050. 

I let it ferment at 80-90 degrees for about three weeks ( I racked it after 
one week ), and when I checked the SG it was 1.000!  I didn't think 
ale yeast was supposed to be very attenuative....did some type of infection 
set in that chomped up the extra sugars after the ale yeast was done? 

Has this happened to anyone else?
