Thanks. I will buy bottles then.

Hello, stupid question. I'm doing a Coopers beer kit, and wanted to know if I can carbonate in a growler for bottling? I plan to use corn sugar for the carbonating, but don't want the bottles to explode. Thanks

Thanks Revvy and Freezeblade, no sugar it is. Thanks very much

Thanks for the reply. I will not add any sugar. I have been hearing gret things about sweat mead yeast after researching on the internet. It was mentioned more times than any other yeast, so thats what I went with. Thanks again

I'm making hard sparkling cider with fresh pressed ciders this weekend, and was wondering how many of you like sugar in your cider. I'm using wyeast sweet mead yeast, and Coopers carbination drops to carbinate in beer bottles. I don't want too sweet, but want apple flavor. Any suggestions...

Thanks Greg! That was the recipe I've been hoping to find. I like all natural. I'm also using Wyeast Sweet Mead Yeast. Is yeast nutriant necessary? Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I found a recipe that adds light brown sugar (2lbs per 5 gallons) I would rather have natural, but assumed I added sugar. I don't like really sweet, but this has the least amount of sugar in any recipe I have found. Thanks

Hello everyone, I plan to make my 1st hard cider in a few weeks, and just had a few questions to make sure I will not mess anything up. I am crushing/ pressing my own apples, and plan to use campden tablets. My 1st question is do I add sugar before of after this step, or does it even matter...
