Conventional wisdom says you should carb at the same temp you fermented at. However, I have found a degree or two more helps the process along, and a degree or two lower can stop it altogether. The degree or two lower hurts even worse, in my experience, if you have racked a few times or spent a long time in secondary.

Yeah it was sitting in secondary for quite some time, and pretty clear,oh well carb or not it still tastes good lol

I bring mine up to about 74* and they carb nicely in 2-3 days time. I guess it depends on the yeast strain used. I used Wyeast 4766 cider yeast.

I have three liters of still cider bottled to drink first so I'm in no rush to crack open the carbonated stuff, I thought of leaving them for a month or so
