Hi all! Made a batch of caramel apple cider according to the famous recipe on this forum. Everything went well, and I'm bottled up and carbing. I've noticed a fair amount of stringy floaters settling near the bottom, which get stirred up easily by bubbles when I pop the bottle open. The cider tastes good, smells fine, but the stringees are fairly unappetizing. I didn't notice anything in the bottles right after bottling. I know at least one other member had a similar problem (he called it "seaweed"), and posted about it, but it got a little lost in the back and forth within the actual recipe thread, and I don't think anyone ever answered.
What the heck is this stuff? Is it yeast, or something more sinister? I'm going to stovetop pasteurize the batch in the next day or so. Hopefully I haven't made 5 gallons of drain lube!
