Didn't think of that. Switched them over to glass.

Title says it all. They should be ready by the end of the week. If I don't report back, send somebody after me. :D

Revvy, I am bottling cider that has fermentation still active. I am assuming I need to check them on day 3-5 in order to check carbonation before pasteurizing so I do not have bottle bombs.

I am doing a 1 gallon batch to test out the pasteurization technique. I am taking it down to about 1.012ish, priming, and then bottling. Since it will only yield about 10 bottles, I am curious at what point should I start to check the carbonation? Bottles will be sitting in a tupperware...

Take it again.

1 pack should be plenty.

1 drop...

Interesting.....

I love the Kolsch I made in November. Whirfloc will make is crystal clear if you make it again!

You sure the OG reading was correct? perhaps you didn't have it mixed up well enough?

Kinda hit and miss with the artificial sweeteners. I tried Truvia by tasting it out of the container and thought I liked it but doesn't seem to do well in the cider. I have a current batch going and I plan on letting it reach 1.012ish, which will still let it have some natural sweetness, carb...

Yes, but be careful with xylitol. Some have reported that it give you the runs. A quick google search confirms this.

Both examples are correct. Notingham should ferment down to around 1.000

Roger that... I will pasteurize using the turkey fryer on the patio while wearing my 4 wheeler helmet, goggles, leather gloves, and leather jacket. :D

Only doing a 1 gallon test batch. Am I correct that after carbing it up, I can just place it in the fridge if I am still a little intimidated to try the pasteurization? Sorry for all the questions but all I have ever done before is back sweeten with unfermentables so this is uncharted...

You sure there is no yeast? Usually the purpose of a kit is having everything needed in the box.

Yea, figured on checking it daily. Was more interested on when to start checking it. Day 2...3...4...5...???

68 degrees.
