I've made a few batches of cider but I'm still very much a beginner.. I've got the basics down and i've got my materials and done research but theres a few things that i've had trouble getting a specific answer for. I'm currently making a 4 gallon batch of cider with champagne yeast that should complete at around 7.5% ABV.
-What should i use to bottle it? i want it to be sparkling.. i don't have beer bottles but i have many wine bottles (screw on tops not cork).. is that good? I've also heard of someone using empty plastic soda bottles.. is that good? (if so what size.. 24 fl. ounce ..mabey 2 liter?)
-also the recipe shows at bottling to add 4 oz sugar for carbonation.. how carbonated will that end product be? and how long until it is fully carbonated?
