Hello all –
I have a batch of 2.5 gallons of cider which is currently in secondary infusing strawberries and red berries. It looks fantastic, but since transferring to secondary there has been no airlock activity at all.
I want to aim for a carbonated cider, and plan on bottling after two weeks of secondary infusion. When adding sugar to the batch prior to bottling, should I add more yeast for carbonation or will the sugar "re-awaken" the yeast? Is adding yeast prior to bottling common?
Thanks in advance!
