using beer gun to bottle

[DrFlash]

Greetings! I am fairly new to cider making and have been lurking around for a while and I have found a wealth of info on here. I recently purchased a blichmann beer gun so I can bottle from keg after force carbing.
My plan for my next batch is to either cold crash or use sorbate and sulphites, then back sweeten to taste, then keg and force carbonate with c02. I want to bottle some from keg and my question is , can the bottles be kept at room temps or do they need to stay chilled after filling? I do not want to pasteurize at this time.

it would be safest to keep them cold.

I rack, sulfate & sorbate, back sweeten and keg. After a month I bottle & cap with a beer gun. (Turn down the pressure and cool the bottles in cold starsan to min. foaming). I’ve stored my bottled cider in the basement 55-75 deg. F. for months and never had a bottle bomb. Never even a geyser.

If you stabilize properly with sorbate and sulfite, you can store them at room temperature if you'd like.

thanks for the responses! Im in the experimental stage right now..trying some different flavors and using sorbate and sulfites seem the way to go for me.
