    Carbonation in cider after adding potassium sorbate and back sweetening.

    Bottles were some regular pry off cap bottles and some swing top bottles. The carbonated one was from a pry off. SG: 1.060 FG: 1.000 or about 1.001 before back sweetening. I didn't not take another measurement after back sweetening. (Is this common practice) I raked to secondary a d cider...

    Carbonation in cider after adding potassium sorbate and back sweetening.

    Thank you for the replies. It was a pleasant surprise regardless. Has anyone else encountered this before?

    Carbonation in cider after adding potassium sorbate and back sweetening.

    I made a cider about a month ago. Added some potassium sorbate to the batch as the instructions called for. Waited about a day and a half. Back sweetened bottled and several weeks later started drinking them. All of them have been flat but the one I had 2 days ago. It was slightly carbonated and...

    Also add a little baking soda to that mix helps a lot also. I havent tried it with just vinegar yet though.

    Shiny swirls on surface of my beer

    Sweet that's good to hear. I honestly was worried it was residual oil from my pot that I used for heating my priming sugar. But unrealized it probably would look like that if it was.

    1st cider question

    I am also making a cider for my second batch. I am using Kroger 100% apple juice. I also smashed up some real apples, threw them in there, a cinnamon stick and added some brown sugar (about a cup) and pitched EC-1118. Anyone have any advice with this type of yeast? It's been fermenting a week...

    Is your fermenter slanted like this?

    I had my fermenter on the counter and the floor and thought my floors were slanted but after tipping it over I see how bad it is. Just wondering if anyone else is this bad. Probably nothing to worry about just curious. I put the level on top to show how it looks in that aspect.

    My new easy way to label beer bottles

    You can actually select the number and the location of the lables you're going to use on the sheet. You can print one or all of the lables if you like. You can even print just the middle one If you want. Right before you print it gives you the option to "select" the lables on the sheet. No waste...

    My new easy way to label beer bottles

    After I use up the 3/4 I'm probably gonna try the 7/8. The price was pretty nice on amazon for the 3/4 ". Thanks

    My new easy way to label beer bottles

    The software is on the website that you use internally to make the lables. Perhaps I should say the "website" I'm not a computer guru so bare with me. Here is the site. avery.com/print
