Seeing as this thread seems to have slowed down some (last post 2013) I hope you guys don't mind an off/on topic question?
I've just tried my first bottle of cider made from our trees in the back garden (and some from our neighbour's). It's my second batch of cider because I got used to my equipment using a concentrate that came with... That was ok but not so tasty...
Anyway, this bottle I've just opened isn't fizzy! It tastes great but isn't fizzy. Flat as the earth (my little joke that). I think I know why though... After bottling, I took all 30 bottles to the shed so as not to block up the kitchen. I think that's where I've messed up because the temperature hasn't been higher than 14°C (57.2° F) here in North Wales since they've been in the shed.
What do you guys think? Am I right? Is there anything I can do? Bring them in from the cold? Re-bottle them with some more priming sugar and keep warmer for a couple of days this time?
Any help gratefully received,
Billy
