    Am I looking at some soon-to-be bottle bombs?

    If you going to keep them in the refrigerator and jus drink them you going to be fine. If you planning to bottle it, you have to pasteurize the bottles stop the fermentation in full after the cider carbonates. Usually recommend using a plastic bottle to check the carbonation level.

    Under pitch yeast.

    Dzien Dobry. Ale ta paczka byla podzielona na dwa rożne pojemniki... jak narazie bumelki idą więc chyba nie będzie złe. ( the pack was spill in two difference containers not one whole. currently the fermentation is bubbling so hopeful is going to work out)

    Issue with the flavor,

    I add the spirits after the fermentation ended and after i racked it. From me memory it was add at 28-30 day there was no activity for the longest time. So I think it’s not the yeast. I thinking because it was made from a kit the wine just became watered down after adding that amount of...

    Cider Newb Advice

    If you are going to levee it to ferment all the way out (until bubling stops) I would recommend add more juice, in current state you would probable end up with something around abv 8-10% if you levee it the way it is, but if you’re going to stop it one way or another I would just levee it...

    Bottling cider.

    Hi. I am just about ready to bottle me cider. I am lit bit confused on the property technique of bottling cider to get the carbonation to continue, to get some bubbles in it. I am looking for a way to achieve the perfect balance without destroying the taste of cider. Thanks for help.

    Something is wrong with this cider.

    I have the same thing with the batch that i made recently. I waited around 7 days + now and its start getting some carbonation in it. I would recommended living the batch for couple weeks in room temperature and try it then. Older the cider it should get better.
