Hello... This is my first time at trying to brew anything. I need a new hobby so I figured I would give mead and cider brewing a try. I drove around yesterday to local orchards to inquire about their cider,none of them pasteurize,but one said that the press they use "flashes" the cider to kill the diseases that are associated with cider. My question is this,would I still have to heat this cider to pasteurize it? I really don't want to because I know I would most likely end up screwing it up by letting it get too hot... Thanks in advance,and you can count on seeing more questions about cider and mead making from me..ha... I've read a lot about it online but there are things I don't quite get.
