Bottled my first carbonated cider, what temp do they need to be stored to carbonate, i have them in my basement right now, it's around 60 in there is that ok? Or is it too cool?
Conventional wisdom says you should carb at the same temp you fermented at. However, I have found a degree or two more helps the process along, and a degree or two lower can stop it altogether. The degree or two lower hurts even worse, in my experience, if you have racked a few times or spent a long time in secondary.
I have three liters of still cider bottled to drink first so I'm in no rush to crack open the carbonated stuff, I thought of leaving them for a month or so
