Hello all -
I plan to bottle carb approx 2gallons of cider tonight, and was curious about how much priming sugar to use.
The last time I bottled 5gal of Ed's Apelwiein i used one of the prepackaged priming sugars (4.5oz?). This seemed like it didn't carb up very well, do ciders need just a bit more priming sugar to get that bubbly thing going on?
This 2gal batch is pretty simple:
2gal apple juice
honey
WLP001 yeast
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
thanks,
~larry
