Carbonation and Hard Cider

[Kris]

Hello al, this weekend im going to be trying my 1st attempt at brewing, anything. Ill be doing Apfelwein (German Hard Cider). I cider but ive always had types that were carbonated. Is there a helper thread on how to Carbonate your Hard Cider? Or should i even try. Im not to sure on this.

You would carbonate just like you would with beer, add some sugar before bottling or force it with CO2 under pressure.

If I were you, I would add an ounce or two over the recommended amount of priming sugar. I used 4.5 oz (roughly 3/4 cup) and it came out ok, but I would have liked it nice and bubbly. Works well over ice too.

Add that in the bottle? then just cap it?
