I bottled up 3 1-gallon batches of cider that I made with Nottingham yeast, fermented in the range of 55F-68F for about 14 days. OG's were between 1.062-1.068.
I was planning on backsweetening a little with concentrate for 2, and honey for 1... but they tasted pretty good to me, so I left them untouched. They all had a FG of 1.012-1.015. I bottled them into 22oz bottles, and put them aside. I didn't even think that not adding ANY sweetener might effect the carbonation. I plan on pasteurizing these on the 6th day after bottling, so that I can bring them to a friend's place when I visit. What are the chances that I'll have any carbonation? There are still sugars in there, but I thought fermentation was pretty much done.
New guy here... bear with me.
