Hi people,
I'm planning to make cider for the first time this autumn and I have a question about pasteurisation. I'm aware of stovetop pasteurising in bottles to give control over sugar content and carbonation. However, I would prefer to make sweet cider without any carbonation. Is there any reason that I couldn't:
Apologies if this has already been asked, I have searched but I'm unfamiliar with this forum and much of the terminology

However, I would prefer to make sweet cider without any carbonation. Is there any reason that I couldn't:
- Ferment and rack etc.
- Add sugar to the whole batch
- Pasteurise the liquid in a big pot at 65-70 c for 10 minutes or so
- Bottle and store
