aging, how long till it goes bad?

[kamkamdac]

how long can i age my cider till it starts to go bad, keep in mind that i pasteurize my cider after target gravity is reached.

also, at what tem do you age at, can you age in the fridge or do you want at room temp.

WHy do you think it would go bad??? Do wines go bad???? As long as you have no infection issues, you should expect alcohol to last indefinitely. It may oxydize or it may change flavors and mellow out, but there's no reason you should expect something alcoholic to "go bad." Especially pasturized, which in theory would have killed anything off.

If you are bottle pasteurizing the life in theory should be indefinite
