decided to start pasteurizing my cider , done a case of 24 bottles ,doing rest tomorrow. amazing how much it's cleared after another crash, almost has the colour of strongbow now.
as there wasn't much carbonation don't think it will be a problem having bottle bombs.
will probably keep a case for xmas, case for new year and keep the rest for next summer, will probably try a bottle once a month to see how it's aged and how the taste has changed.
thought about maybe getting some oak chippings and try some in a gallon , not sure though?
