Can someone please explain back sweetening

[bambam26]

I am new to the cider arena and do not quite understand what back sweetening is? I am going to make a batch of cider soon and force carb it do you have to back sweeten it? Thanks

Back sweeteing is simply adding non fermentable sweeteners to a cider after it has finished fermenting. In most cases, you can back sweeten prior to carbonating. Always add the sweetener in small doses....taste...and add more if needed. I like splenda or Stivia.
