I'm trying to get a cider with no yeast flavour, and so I racked 2 times, then let the cider sit for a couple of weeks after the 2nd racking. I noticed when bottling that there was no sediment on the bottom of the fermenter, which seems unusual to me.
Anyway I bottled and added some white sugar to carbonate. I've let the bottles sit for a few days which is usually enough I find to carbonate. However when I popped one open to try the cider, I was interested to find that it wasn't very fizzy, and also tasted a little sweet, almost like the sugar was still in it.
Did I remove too much of the yeast by racking and resting twice? Do I need to add a little yeast to the bottles to carbonate?
