It clears up before the taste is optimal already as it is.

Probably crap from the limes. F- it. Bottle, drink, repeat.

But, the apple flavor in mine really took off after a month in the bottle. I don't remember total time since the beginning. But it was like a switch went off.
Yeah I had very few bottles left when the apple taste took off. Had to start another one.

Actually, the reason I asked is because I am experiencing a shortage in carboys (I'm sure many can relate). My goal is to clear the cider as quickly as possible after fermentation has completed and then get it into bottles for the recommended aging period. Thoughts?

Pasteurising..
A must?
Or optional?

snowboardc said:One month in primary and still having same issue. No gravity reading??? It went for a month with some bubbling. No real crazy action though. I am ready to rack but am wondering if I need to get it where it will read first.
Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
As a side note it does taste quite like cider.
+1. Only pasteurize if you are trying to get it to finish sweet. I let mine go all the way.
