Bulk age or bottle? Cyser

[russb123]

Is it better to bulk age or bottle and let it age in the bottle?

Does carbonation help a strong cider (cyser in my case) mellow out faster?

Am I better off just racking once a month or so until lees stop dropping?

The recipe I used was only 1lb of honey per gallon of juice so my cyser is not as strong as most other recipes.

I prefer to bulk age... personally I think it ages better but it just might b a couple batches that I made

I mostly bulk age everything and serve from kegs, but I have noticed that conditioning goes faster for me in bottles, maybe it's just because they are stored at a slightly higher temperature.
In either case, I usually do a month primary, and at least a month secondary. Hope this helps.

I tend to bulk age my cysers, as they're all 14%ABV or more; never thought about carbing anything with such a high ABV... HHHHhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmm...
