i'm a beginner and i've only made a few batches.. I started a 4 gallon cider 4 weeks ago. The recipe was pretty standard.. enough sugar added to make around 7%abv dry cider with champagne yeast and no secondary ferment.. straight to bottles. i followed the recipe well.. It didn't call for a carbonated cider and i want to add that little bit in so i was thinking i would rack out the cider into a clean container and add 2 cups sugar and then bottle.. since it's been a month sitting still it seems pretty clear.. i wasn't sure wether there would be enough yeast to carbonate the sugar after i bottle... will the cider carbonate or should i have bottled a few weeks earlier and let it clear in the bottle?
also i'm bottling in 16 and 32 ounce bottles.
any answers or revisions of what i should do are greatly appreciated..
