I just did this yesterday with swing top bottles and it worked perfectly! I used both 16 ounce and 32 ounce ones. For the 32 i gave it a few extra minutes in the bath.
So I have a few gallons of Apple cider fermenting and this is my first time making cider. I am wanting to make a somewhat sweet sparkling cider but I dont want to use artificial sweetener. So I am planning to back sweeten when bottling and Waiting for carbonation to build up and then stove top...
So say I decided to backsweeten with fermentable sugars and I want it to be a lightly sweet sparkling cider. How long after bottling should I wait to pasturize? And what is the best way to do so?
