If I'm going to use freshly pressed cider from an orchard and I'm going to keg carb the cider, do I need to worry with pasteurization after back sweetening? I was wanting a fairly sweet, lightly carbonated hard cider.
I'm not talking a chocolate and caramel milkshake or anything but some sweetness will be ok. I have some caramel vanilla cream ale in one of my primary buckets but I was thinking of something a little less sweet with more of a pronounced chocolate tone with the caramel just adding to that...
