I purchased some champagne bottle for my carb cider and was wondering if I still have to pasteurize the cider to kill the yeast and stop fermentation once desires carbonation is reached or if these bottle are design to safely be this pressurized?
If pasteurization is required, I got this info off the message board and would like to know if it's correct:
Also, would killing the yeast by pasteurizing change the taste of the cider ?
thanks

prepare a hot water bath of 190 F water, remove from heat, carefully set the bottles in the bath for ten minutes and remove; repeat until all the bottles are pasteurized
