I made the 5 day sweet country cider recipe and tried the stove top pasteurization "sticky" method
3/6 bottles blew the tops off
1/6 the glass blew up
So, I put them all in the fridge hoping that would stop fermentation. I've tried to look up info on cold crashing and it appears people generally cold crash the fermenter, though some people say things about cold crashing if you have room for all the bottles.
I've searched and only determined that the manufacturer recommends fermentation temps for US-05 of 59-75F, but don't know just how low I need to go to ensure they stop any fermentation.
I'm worried these things will start blowing up in the fridge!
