Thanks. That's good to know. The last batch I made was 4.3% abv and was good to drink as soon as it was carbonated (actually it was good before carbonation!). This batch is 6.4%. Not a whopper, but...

I made a 10 gallon batch of cider a few days ago. SG was 1.063. I had planned to bottle at about 1.030, and then pasteurize after the bottles got a good carbonation. However, I checked the gravity...
