My Cider is ready to bottle and I want to carbonate it and add a little back sweetener.
Last year I cabonated with white sugar and back sweetened with Xylitol, which seemed to work well.
I have two questions:
Is there any other type of sugar/sweetener that I can use for carbonation instead of white sugar that would add a little flavour/texture etc? I have some Dark Muscovado (Unfefined Cane Sugar) in the cupboard that might work?
Can I add Xylitol straight to the bottle or do I need to dilute it first? How much per bottle for slightly sweetened cider?
Thanks in advance!
