Hey all, my first batch of cider will be officialy done tomorow =)
So, ive grabbed myself some sugar that wont ferment, just in case, and am now wondering about carbonating it.
I searched around a bit and have pretty much gathered that i was either supposed to add stuff while it was in the primary fermentation bit, or add something now then leave for a few weeks.
Didn't really want to leave it to much longer, the friends + family are getting impatiant with the "it will be ready soon!" heh.
So, is there some sort of liquid, tablet, pill, pixie dust that i can add pretty much as i pour it?
so like "ok, people will be arriving in 30 or so, throw a tablet into this bottle and it will be nicely fizzy by then".
i only really say this because i am terrorfied of adding something to make it fizzy and getting a bottle bomb =/
oh, and if needs be ill just kill off the yeast with loads of fermentable sugar, everyone around me likes it strong any way heh.
thanks in advance, and i know this post wasnt to clear, im still coming to terms with all the brewing slang =)
