  I wonder if some/all of the bottles weren't capped tightly enough? I find that when I
  pasteurize cider I have to REALLY clamp the caps down--otherwise, I can see CO2 leaking from
  around the caps, as t...

  Hey guys (off topic), I searched this thread a bit and didn't find too many people having
  problems with very (I mean VERY) fast carbonation. I don't know how in the world you can let
  your bottles with...

  To have a finished cider that is sweet, you'll need to kill the yeast with some potassium

  I would get your beer as cold as possible (lower temperature = lower pressure) and degas them.

  Well I opened a bottle yesterday (21 days after pitching the yeast) and it was pretty much

  another question ...

  Okay what I did was I released the pressure from them while they were cold (which worked very

  Okay thanks!

  So what I need to do is the "idiot's release" while they are still cold, and then bring them up

  I'm new to home brewing and I've been experimenting with cider in one gallon batches. My first
  five batches I let ferment down dry and then backsweetened, and they're in the long process of
