I wasn't expecting my cider to carbonate so fast! I checked a bottle last night from a batch that was just bottled for 3 days and it was a gusher! I only used about 3.5 ounces of corn sugar in the bottling bucket so I don't know why it carbonated so much, so quick. Anyways... I was originally planning on doing the stove-top pasteurization this coming weekend but when this happened last night I freaked out... I didn't want to leave them out any longer and I didn't have time to pasteurize so I put them in the garage fridge. So am I now stuck with leaving them in the fridge? I'm not sure I like the idea of taking them out and putting them in hot water... Any thoughts?
