Hey all, this is my first cider and so far all has gone well, It taste great to me but a bit to dry for SWMBO. I started this the weekend before christmas using Nottingham yeast, racked it to secondary middle of January and have let it sit since. For the last 2 weeks it has sat at a reading of 1.000 so pretty sure it is done.
Now the problem and choice to be made. SWMBO has insisted this be part of the offering at the annual St. Pats party that we have. She also wants it back sweetend (will be using non fermentables for this) and Carbed.
I could Keg it but since I only have a 25# CO2 bottle, it is a pain in the arse to drag Keg, cooler, and CO2 to the party.
Here is where I need advise . I know that cider ferments slower than beer. Will 2 weeks in a bottle be enough to carb it since this would be the preferred method of transport?
