Hi all - I racked four gallons of cider that had completely stopped bubbling into secondary, topping off with a good amount of fresh cider. After three days I see no signs of secondary fermentation. It sat in the initial fermentation for several weeks after activity had ceased, which has...

Any further efforts to carbonate cider with the soda stream? Any results? I'm about to rack a batch, and trying to figure out my next steps towards sparkling cider with a bit more apple flavor...

So much great information! Thank you all. I've clearly got a lot of work ahead of me!

Thanks - so many tasty things to make and drink!

Question about the above comment - does this imply that one CAN ferment it all the way out, and then add a little priming sugar/something fermentable, and bottle without everything exploding.

Awesome information! Thank you.

Thanks so much - I began feeling like was a science experiment that I was likely to screw up completely with a small misstep. Seems like there's a lot more leeway for error (or creativity). I'll just let her go for a bit longer, then rack so I can get a second batch going!
