I want to make a semi-Sweet cider for X-mas presents. This means bottles. Every Cider I have tried turns out very dry as is the topic of many threads in this forum. I want to try and use my keg system to force carbonate in a corny and then transfer to bottles, and hopefully preserve the carbonation. I have 24 swing top champagne bottles I plan to use.
- Brew cider as per normal.
- Cider will be very dry SG 1.00-ish
- Sulfate to kill yeast, stop fermentation
- Rack to Corny Keg
- Back-sweeten with Apple Concentrate or sugar.
- Force Carbonate in keg
- Rack to bottles, seal quickly and hopefully capture some carbonation in the bottle.
- Pray I don't end up with a huge mess.
Has anyone tried this? Any recommendations?
