Hey All,
I'm still pretty new to this and am currently in secondary and wanted to see if what I plan on doing is flawed at all. I have had it in secondary for only a week but in about another week testing it and if it is clear and tastes good go to bottle it. It was on the dry side when I transferred it to secondary so I was going to back sweeten slightly to taste, bottle it, let it carbonate for a little bit and then heat pasteurize to kill the yeast. Am I missing anything here? Also what type of juice can I backsweeten with? I am guessing anything without preservatives in it?
Thanks!
