Make sure you check your dishwasher. Mine only got to 135 degrees. I've been putting mine into a large pressure cooker(WITH THE BLOW OFF SEAL REMOVED) and holding it at 160 for 20 minutes.

i did about 4 cases of cider in my dishwasher and i havent had any issues. The cider tasted funny the first couple days but after it sat for about 2 weeks the apple flavor came out more. I would always pasteurize this way from now on. Granted i dont know anything about my dishwasher. Its about 15 years old and a kenmore portable i bought it off a friend, but it gets real hot and i use hot water coming out of my faucet which gets to about 155 degrees anyway. It worked great and my cider is great. (did i mention that already) So i say big yes to dish washer pasteurization.

Recipes 

i made this for beer and must work for cider, i put beer bottles in my BK filled with water, warm the water at 73 celsius degrees, wait for 10-30 min, drain the hot water, add water at room temp (use a hose to fill the BK from the bottom) wait 10-20 min, drain the water, add cold water around 10 celsius degrees, wait 10-20 min (fill from the bottom) drain the cold water. So you have to have your bottles well capped because co2 expands with warm temps also use new bottle if you can they resist more pressure.


this was an experiment at the beggining but i got an overcarbonated beer (by some gusher critter) so i vent the excess of co2, i recapped, and i pasteurized them and works very welll overcarbonation stopped.


I have made blackberry,reapsberry liquor or wine but i boil the juice i add cane or fructuose sugar, i chill the liquid and add yeast, do you guys boil you juice? with these liquors i have had good results very yummy beverages i got and im not supporting sulfites and that stuff as many i like to be natural hehe
