Hi all!
I've bottled last week my cider batch at about 1,010 sg. When the sg will be at 1.005 I would pasteurize them.
The question is... How to do it?
I would prepare a box where heat the water till 65°C and then I'd submerge the bottles (their temperature is around 10°C) into it and count 15 minutes. Is it correct? Or should I put the bottles in cold bath and then heat to the temperature target? How many PUs will be obtained with the first mode? My target is to obtain at least 40/50PUs (i remember a post made by @Chalkyt talking about an ideal PUs of max50) to be sure the yeast will be killed.
And then... Could I repeat the procedure waiting the bath heated again?
Thank you all!
