Hello Everyone,
I'm new and have been experimenting with some Cider recipes. I made a cider from EC1118 and some organic apple cider I bought at Trader Joes. I put 2 cups white sugar in with one gallon and left for about a month. I filtered the mixture with a coffee filter as I transferred to 1 Qt fliptop bottles. I added two tablespoons priming sugar. Here's my question...three of the bottles came out completely flat and the last bottle was ready to blow! Also, I noted that all four had a large amount of sediment in the bottom of the bottle, even thought I let it sit and it appeared to be done fermenting.
I can report the finished product was very tasty. I let it sit for about 8 months before I drank it, but I would really appreciate any advice on how to get a little carbonation and not eliminate the fear of a bottle explosion. Also, I would love to hear other ideas about recipes. Thanks in advance!!
