Thank you both!
I will go with the more practical method and backsweeten. Any suggestions to sweeten by retaining the fresh apple flavor and reducing the funk at the bottom of the bottle? That is why my original thought was to use the fresh cider. Maybe concentrate it somehow?
Hi all. Thank you all for this wonderful forum. I have learned a lot. I am making my first cider and it seems there are several ways to end up with sweet cider.
My goal is a semi-sweet carbonated cider. I don't have equipment for cold crashing or kegging. I plan on bottle pasteurizing...
