Laziness and Not Bottling Cider

[Thomasaug]

I have lots of experience brewing, but little with cider. I made my first batch in April, but never bottled it. It's been in the primary and am worried that after 5 months, it is not going to taste so great.

Am I just nervous for no reason? Planning on bottling today.

Taste it! If it tastes great, then you're good.

Sometimes sitting on the thick lees for a long time can lead to some off-flavors, but it may be subtle and you may have a very good cider in the end.
