Swing tops are a no worry bottle pasteurize or not they can handle it I've had no problems eather way and my friends know if they give my bottle back they get more cider

I use a candy thermometer

Think I'm guna try a lemon raspberry cider first I've got orange passion guava cider going right now its fantastic

Its been 3 months and this is quite good I work at a winery and brought some for everyone to try and they loved it think I'm guna make more since work donates bottles and corks I think this next time it will be raspberry lemonade

Well tested the FG today were at 1.048 almost 5% taste fantastic I could drink a ton of this

Before I started using swing tops I would heat water 160 f turn off flame add bottles let sit for 10 minutes carefully put bottles on the counter to cool then I wait a week to drink

I think 180 is maybe too hot think you bring it to 160 for ten minutes all I know is swing tops are great and if my friends want cider they give me my bottles back lol anyhow I don't know if you've ever left a soda in a super hot car and it exploded when you try to open it but I think that's...

I use my dishwasher with swing tops no problems at all

I hope your not bringing the temp up with the bottles in the pot

I used a plastic gingerale bottle for my cider fill it squeeze out air and I wait till it goes back to its shape then I open and take a sip if carbonation is good I put them all in my dishwasher on sanitize / heated dry for 30 to 45 minutes

Irebound I reuse my swing tops if that's what you mean by pop tops all the time with no worries I tell my friends I want my bottles back swing tops aren't cheap here in cali Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Home Brew mobile app
