I'm brewing my first cider and it's not quite finished but I've been really thinking about something..
Can I bottle in mason jars? It's a traditional mason jar with a two-part lid and I think they can form a pretty good seal...
Also I have not yet learned how to primp my sugar (I don't know if I'm saying that correct) to make a carbonated beverage but will cider carbonate as much as beer? For some reason I'm under the impression that beer carbonates a lot more.... If this is true and I'm only bottling cider can I get away with it?
The next part of this question is if I cannot get away with it and the carbonation is going to be too much for the seal... How fast will it escape?
Since I have tons of mason jars can I keep it in the mason jar for a really short time like 1 to 3 days without losing too much carbon dioxide? My friends are wanting to taste it so I think if I give it to them and instruct them to drink it right away they will, so they won't be in the mason jars for too long.
If this is totally bad let me know but I'm really curious to see if anyone has tried this?
