I have a question about the opening bottle way. Lets say I open a bottle, and it is at the carbonation level i want. So I re-cap the bottle. Will that bottle retain its initial level of carbonation, or will I have to wait another week for that one bottle to be ready again?

I want to do this, but seeing as I only have 4 bottles, I fear popping them all and not having any be done.

I have seen 24 hours, 3 days, 5 days, a week, two weeks, three weeks. I know that you can check the carbonation every few days, but I only have 4 22 ounce bottles right now and checking the carbonation every few days would leave me with no bottles. Is there any formula or anything? I...

Or you can pasturize it.

I guess I will just stove top pasteurize it then. Wasn't too set on a plan. Just kind of threw it togeather and was going to "fake it till you make it".

What makes you say "revolting"?

So i stumbled apon this thread about hawaiian punch https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f25/can-you-make-hawaiian-punch-wine-185711/ Ingredients: Gallon of Hawaiian Punch (1.97 from target) Table Sugar Red Star Cuvee Yeast Bumped the SG up to about 9% and plan on stopping fermentation with...

You can backsweeten with an unfermentable (splenda). Wait for your cider to ferment, then backsweeten.

If you have already killed the yeast (campden tablets) then any kind of sugar will work. If you have not, I would recommend using splenda since it is non fermentable.

Anyone in Western Washington that has bottles? Just started brewing and would love to bottle my next batch.

No. Many of my ciders dont bubble up big at all. It depends on the cider. Some bubble alot, others dont. The fact your getting fermentation is all you need to know. It will ferment out. I followed this recipe exactly, but used a different yeast and my cider didnt bubble like theirs did...

You guys may or may not like this. It is a music video about the Packers. Dont know if it is out of your guys likings or not. but figured I would share.

Would 40 oz twist off bottles work? Like the 40 oz malt liquor ones.

Yeah I'm doing research as we speak about where the distribution place is.

Yeah I meant a pop top, just thought bud was still pop top. Thanks everyone!

Would used beer bottles work? Like lets say I drank a 12 pack of Budweiser. If I cleaned and sanitized the bottles, would those work? Thanks again for all the help! This is why I love this fourm

Ok I can do that. Are there any bigger (750ml) size bottles that I can use, or do I need to break it up into the smaller beer bottles? Thank you for your help!

I want to try a carbonated cider. Not champagne style, but I would like a good deal of carbonation. First off, I am a college student, and cost effectiveness is essential. I found a local business who will give me their wine bottles for free. All I would need to do is buy a corker and...

Not trying to hijack this thread, but I have a question. I am new to bottling. All my ciders before were in the still stage. I recently found a guy who gave me 20 750ml wine bottles. I will buy corks and a corker from my LHBS. Can someone walk me through priming these? I have my cider in a...

Well duh...... Thank you! :mug:
