Ok, well, not sure if this can be done but here is what I am considering doing.
I have a batch of cider, been fermenting for about 6 days now.
The activity in the airlock is starting to slow down, about 1 bubble in about 15 to 20 seconds.
I started off with a gravity of 1.050, haven’t taken a second one yet.
I would like to bottle the cider in some plastic ½ liter bottles I have and let them ferment for another day or 2 in the bottle thus creating carbonation in the bottle.
Once the bottle feels pressurized to the touch, meaning when I squeeze the plastic bottle it doesn’t bend or push inwards I put the bottles in the fridge to cold crash.
I know I will be left with some yeast at the bottom of the bottle but that doesn’t really bother me.
The end product should be a carbonated semi sweet cider.
Has anyone tried doing something like this?
will this work?
