Great, thanks for the help!

Hi everyone, I made my first batch of cider back in November 2012 (was uncarbonated due to errors ;) )...it still tasted half decent, but I'm wondering how long it will last once it's opened and how long will it last unopened? I have it stored in a dark room in my basement and once some...

Thanks guys, ill do a reading tonight. No there isn't any visible signs of the yeast on the bottom. How can I determine how much yeast I would need to add to each bottle...I don't want any bombs:p sorry for all the questions guys
