Hey Folks,
I think I messed up. I made a batch of five day sweet country cider from the recipe database. I used Nottingham yeast and accidentally used .25lb of extra sugar. So I bottle at 1.06 as per the recipe, let it sit for a day then pop one before I pasturize. Boom, overcarbed.
So I just crack all 23 bottles and dump them back in the bucket with the remaining 2 gallons of cider (I was doing something else with it).
My question is this. Can I just rebottle? Or do I need to let it go flat first?
