Hello everyone,
My wife and I are trying our hand at hard cider for the first time. I have VERY limited experience with making mead, she has no brewing experience at all.
We want to make a cider that is…
1. Simi sweet
2. Sparkling
3. As clear as possible
We originally planned on bottling in standard 20oz beer bottles.
What is the best way to achieve these results? The catch always seems to be clarity. I can add bubbles with in “bottle fermentation” and sweetness with non fermentable sugars but if yeast is going to town in the bottle it will create more sediment.
