Pasteurization of 750ml bottles?

[gabe713]

So iv'e made a few batches now and i started racking into these swing top 750ml bottles but i'm curious on how long i should pasteurize them? Trying to avoid bottle bombs. Last time i did it for 30 mins and that seemed to work out... but i hope to get advice from someone who knows more about this then me

As a secondary question, does prolonged pasteurization change the taste of the cider? Don't want it coming out different then when it when in.

Thank you for your responses!

Yeast: Safeale US-04
ABV: 4.5%

fill one with water and leave the top open. put a thermometer in and see how long it takes to get up to temp. fill the pot with bottles as you would normally

Is that how pasteurization works? You just bring the liquid up to temp and its done?

Pasterurisation in this case is bringing the contents up to temperature and holding it there for a certain amount of time.
For obvious reasons you don't want it too high (exploding bottles).

There is a sticky thst covers it well
